Hi aditya,
It is possible for you to check on a fresh install of manjaro in a virtual machine to rule out the possibility that something else in your system is causing this behavior. I remember trying context while browsing the wiki before so it should work normally in a brand new environment, but I don't think it's reasonable to install a brand new distro just to make sure that 'context --help' can work normally, no matter how problematic the current distro is, as long as it does not prevent commands from displaying help messages.

Hi,
sorry if this is not the best place to file a bug but I found no working bug tracker for context.
Environment: Manjaro 20.1.2, context 2020.09.20 23:02, firefox 82.0
Step to reproduce: 1. `firefox --safe-mode # start firefox without add-ons` 2.a`context --version # or --help, or without arguments` 2.b or: `mtxrun --script font --list --all`
Expected behavior: Nothing surprising should happen.
Actual behavior: Firefox suddenly eats 100% of cpu
I cannot reproduce this behavior (I am on manjaro but using firefox 81 rather than 82). My environment:
$uname -a Linux hostname 5.4.67-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 23 14:20:18 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 81.0
$context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.09.15 18:11 mtx-context | main context file: /opt/luametatex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.09.15 18:11
I followed your steps: 1. start `firefox --safe-mode` 2. On a different terminal, open htop and filter `firefox` so I can view firefox's CPU usage. 3. Run `mtxrun --script font --list --all`
The CPU usage of firefox does not change in any appreciable way (it was 0% and remains 0%).
It is possible for you to check on a fresh install of manjaro in a virtual machine to rule out the possibility that something else in your system is causing this behavior.
