I'm not sure of the details, but when you update a running Firefox all your currently-open tabs continue to work, but when you try to open a new one you'll get an error message telling you that you need to restart Firefox to keep using it.

Ah right I thought you meant it did some kind of hot-patching - sounds like it still needs a hard restart like normal.
