Good morning,
(responding to Samuel and Fred)
Ctrl-Alt-F2 and Ctrl-Alt-F3 both work. From there I am able to kill
Firefox. That seems brings the system load back to typical.
Alt-F1 returns me to the Gnome graphical session. The others do not.
(responding to Ed)
If the issue did surface after that date....
No problem
Wednesdays evening; "dnf upgrade" was done Thursday late
morning; problems observed Thursday evening.
So, you want to do "dnf history info 832"
For the
results, see here:

Have you tried another browser?
Yes. It takes a few new
identities, but there is no problem if I use
the Tor browser. I have not tried any other browsers. I don't think I
have any other browsers, and I am adverse to installing any commercial
browsers. There is no problem when I use Plasma rather than Gnome.
Also, if you run "GNOME on Xorg" do you also have a
problem
(That is Xorg v.s. the default Wayland)
Yes.
(not responding to anyone specifically)
At this point,
* I can end the CPU near-overload; and
* there are work-arounds.
Those are important, but only a part of the reason for starting this
thread. The real problem is still there, and I don't feel it's pinned
down enough to submit well-written bug(s). My sense so far is that a
bug was introduced in the new Firefox, but I can't rule out Gnome. Are
there other good candidates for the source of the problem?
* Should a bug be submitted against Firefox?
* Should a bug be submitted against Gnome?
* Is there anything else I should submit a bug against?
Are there any other quick, simple tests I should do before submitting bugs?
thanks,
Bill.
