That's quite an interesting observation, because I have occasionally had a
very similar problem with pre-webextension Gecko-based browsers, whereby
the browser would encounter certain minified CSS, and would then hang with
100% CPU, and RAM usage getting higher and higher, for which reason I've
had to force-stop the browser processes.

Often, it's been some font file, or some JavaScript that's been the culprit
instead, but not always.

The only remedy was to find the offending file by blocking all types of
SCRIPT,FONT,CSS in classic NoScript's Application Boundaries Enforcer
(ABE), and to test which type of file, and then which particular file has
been acting up so much. After that, the hang-inducing file could be blocked
individually; best even with a partial pattern match, or a regular
expression in NoScript's ABE rules to prevent newer versions of the same
file from being blocked.

Alas, I have not seen the ABE configuration UI in webextension NoScript,
nor any other complex, or granular and detailed ways of configuring the
new-type NoScript.
