I put the relevant part of the dnf log here:
"https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/IUlWCabjTPra7laQna9xHg".
Firefox was upgraded. I did not see "gnome" anywhere in the log.
If something underneath was patched/upgraded, I would not recognize
it.
"dnf history gnome | more" gives this (first 9 lines)

I would look at the history output without grepping for gnome. There
may be an issue from something without gnome in the name, and we can't
see what the disabled repo was. I assume that the
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/IUlWCabjTPra7laQna9xHg log is
unfiltered.
Things that jump out of me from that list are big changes: kernel,
kernel-headers, firefox, and kmod-nvidia. I presume that you did a
reboot, soon after.
It may be worth looking a bit further back, in case a prior
install/upgrade caused the problem, but you hadn't done anything that
would make you notice it, yet.
NB: When you update Firefox, you really need to *fully* quit the
program and restart. I've found that it goes haywire, otherwise. If
you close a Firefox window, and other Firefox windows are left still
running, it's still running the prior installation.
I don't think it was a change in the website. I have the same
problem with other sites.
(Ed: Start firefox from the command line with --safe-mode ...)
The problem occurs in safe-mode.
Using safe mode should eliminate any plug-ins as being a cause. That
still leaves things like scripting, or a change in encryption methods.
So do all other websites cause problems, or just some?
You mentioned it seems okay in a plasma session. So I wonder what
isn't run from gnome, under those circumstances? gnome-settings-
daemon, gnome-keyring? In Gnome you can see what's in the startup
applications, there must be a similar tool for plasma.
