Both FF and IE would fail to run. FF kept giving a window saying it had crashed and would need to be restarted. Did get it to start in safe mode but not exactly what I want.
IE just had a blank window and an error message that it had crashed. No issue with Chrome.
I uninstalled KB2670838 and all is well again.
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on PC (haven't attempted the update on the laptop).
There is some info on FF here and more info here and here

Probably something graphics drivers related since much of the platform update is DirectX related and some of the workarounds mentioned disabling hardware acceleration in the browser settings.
