This is already done for Firefox itself.  Can you point to some of the
apparent issues with themes and fonts?  I've never known those to cause a
problem.

Martin: how about an apport hook which would check for the existence of the
file which indicates that a restart is needed, and suppresses the problem
report, apologizing and telling the user that Firefox must be restarted
after updating it.
