firefox got updated today, and after restarting it, dnf needs-restarting says it needs to be restarted. To be on the safe side, I did restart it once again, but to no avail.
Might there be a reason for dnf needs-restarting's insistence?

I run firefox nightly, which pops up an update available dialog in firefox. Sometimes this happens for me even after I've just done the update and restarted nightly. Usually I have to restart X to clear this up. It might be the same for you. I think this is because a library was updated but wasn't reloaded. Try running ldconfig as root to reload any libraries. If that fails, try logging out of your desktop and restarting it. Warning, this might just be superstition on my part. :-)
Thanks! I tried ldconfig, but it didn't change anything. If I log out, I may as well do a reboot, and that will surely get rid of this complaint. But for now I'll just live with it.
