Ian, given how common these problems are, we would save ourselves a lot of trouble by notifying the user to restart firefox. (the message printed by postinst doesn't count; users are unlikely to see it) The notification is trivial to implement via update-notifier (mvo can provide details about the interface), though it will need to be wrapped in a test for whether firefox is currently running.
