Don't forget step (1) above, and if possible use
something simpler
than Firefox to test the problem. Firefox opens huge numbers of
files. My laptop currently has 2721777 (2.7M) files open of which
2256004 are opened by firefox.

Mike, how did you calculate how many files are opened by firefox? I just
added up all the entries in /proc/<pid>/fd for firefox and its children
processes and I "only" got 1881.
2256004 seems like an astonishing number. Can you clarify this?
Thanks.
Jim
