I don't think, it's a browser restart. IMO reloading the tab is enough. ... 
But I have to have a closer look, if we can detect, a plugin update, while 
the browser is running. ..

I don't know, if that's possible. As I wrote, I'll have a look, if we can 
detect it. 
Every mechanism, that allows plugins to directly interact with the user can 
also be used to add-spam them. So the extension API is heavily restricted. 
We can't do what ever we want.

The problem is, that testing plugin updates, can only done if you update 
the plugin. ... And the mechanism, how mozilla store updates happen is not 
always clear. 

The way I'd like, that updates are done is: 

 - Give the developer the possibility to notify the user, that there is a 
new update
 - Then the user should decide, when the new addOn is installed. 
 - Everyone would be happy. 

 - BUT this notification mechanism can be used to spam users with adds .... 
So ?!
