(replying to all responders)
Actually, the first thing that catches my attention is that when I go to
the password entry box, the system fans really surge. This suggests to
me the CPUs are working at or near capacity.
I also see top and ksysguard repeatedly freezing for several seconds.
(Fred: dirty shutdown; top)
The system was not responding to any keystrokes or trackball clicks.
The only remaining options are hard reset and hard power off.
(Fred: memory)
The problem is not memory use. It is CPU load.
(Fred: waiting)
I waited quite a few seconds; certainly long enough to know there's a
real problem. It does take a while to move the cursor all over the
place, clicking in various places (e.g. menus, 'x' in the upper right
corner of various windows) along the way.
(Fred: CTRL-ALT-F2 or CTRL-ALT-F3)
Does going into this mode kill the session I was in before? If no, how
do I get back? If yes, how do I get back to normal operation without
rebooting?
(Tim: dnf history)
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)
-----
-bash.5[~]: dnf history gnome | more
No transaction which manipulates package 'gnome' was found.

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.
(Ed: input fields; web sites)
Both input fields are on the same web page as soon as the page is
loaded. The problem occurs with what I assume is a fictitious username
as well as my real login name.
I've by now experienced these problems with several web sites. Here are
5 well-known different web sites:
- amazon (https://www.amazon.com/)
- ebay (https://www.ebay.com/)
- Mozilla bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home)
- Redhat Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/)
- USAJobs (https://www.usajobs.gov/)
and others.
Thank-you everyone for your efforts.
Bill.
