Firefox fix:  Went back to Linux 4.09 kernel. Moved ~/.mozilla/ out of
the way, removed all firefox non-debian extensions (ghostery, noscript,
adblock), reinstalled firefox-esr and flashplayer-mozilla, installed
xul-ext-noscript and xul-ext-ublock-origin, manually reset preferences,
imported old bookmarks, history, passwords, noscript whitelist, etc.
Load average in top has gone from an unusable 2,3,5 even 7 to under .50.

This problem got worse, so rebooted into Linux 4.09 kernel to work it
out and maintain a supportable security os.  I've uploaded logs as follows:

kernel errors on boot, *ERROR* [CRTC:29:pipe B] flip_done timed out:
syslog:  http://paste.debian.net/973246/

Xorg.0.log:  http://paste.debian.net/973247/

lightdm.log: http://paste.debian.net/973248/

No progress.

Thanks again for any help.
