The 10.0.1 to 10.0.2 update contains only a security fix in the PNG image decoder and that can't cause this.
Can you try to disable the hardware acceleration under preferences/advanced/general (+ FF restart) ?

I was upgrading to 10.0.2 not from 10.0.1 but from a much earlier version of Firefox
Don't know which one but it is likely 9.x

As per your suggestion, I disabled the Hardware acceleration under preferences/advanced/general and this seems to have fixed the problem.  Still trying it out, but thanks again for this suggestion.

I don't believe that we can do something to fix that.....

Matti, is there still anything to do here?

kvkumar001 writes to me: "I stopped using Firefox on my MAC when I couldn't get the problem to go away. I have since swtiched over to Chrome."

I can not reproduce the issue on my MAC and i don't think that we can anything about this.
It's a system fault if you have to reboot and it doesn't matter if one application misbehaves or not.
