Been noticing the same thing on my F30 system as well....I don't think its Fedora....I think its Mozilla's Firefox, this behavior also has hit my OpenSuSE and my CEntOS laptops....something is eating up the RAM on them when Firefox is running...and it seems to go back to being snappy and fast once I close and then reopen FF, but after a few minutes?.....it slows down again.

This is a screenshot with htop command running firefox:

Looks like the system has 2G RAM, which is marginal these days. Swapping to a mechicaldisk would be really slow if the disk is failing.--
