I'm not sure if I understand your problem right. Are you saying that
midori was unstable and got even more unstable by updating it and glibc?
Then what is the use of updating the iso? What versions of midori and
glibc are these?

Please use the automatic bug reporting to report these crashes (if you
haven't already).

If you are running the iso from a pendrive that you created with
Fedora's liveusb-creator with persistent storage enabled, you can just
update midori or whatever from within the running live system. The
changes will persist throughout a reboot.

To create an image from the latest updates available, use:

# yum install spin-kickstarts livecd-tools
# livecd-creator -c fedora-livecd-xfce.ks
