Maybe.  I don't know what "update" you are talking about.

In my case, it was the update from 9-STABLE to 10-STABLE (amd64)
at the turn of the year.  Firefox 26 and previous versions had been
fairly stable on 9.x.  Crashes were too rare for me to really take
notice.  Once a month maybe?  On 10.x, Firefox 26 (recompiled on
10.x) started crashing every other day.  This has continued with
Firefox 27.
