--- Comment #1 from Patrick Griffis <pgriffis at igalia.com> ---
> Detecting the version mismatch and respawning the affected process may mitigate the problem but it probably won't cover all cases and it's maybe not worth the added complexity.

You have it backwards. The UI process can detect the child processes have changed and refuse to start them. This is how other browsers such as Chromium work. Once an update has happened you can't open new websites you need to restart the browser.
