nothing to improve the situation in my case. Your first item (the

now. It
comes with xfce 4.10 and firefox-esr 31.4. The desktop is reasonably
stable. Enough to remain productive.

Are you saying that this is a problem with Xfce and Firefox? If so,
might
be worth looking into other window managers...
Yes, I did. awesome, and clutter(that comes with gnome. I actually
installed the gnome DE to just to try this out). To no avail.
Speculating, I'd say that the problem is in X. Where I don't know. But
it might also be that xfce is involved somehow; both 5.8 and 5.9 uses
xfce 4.12. IIRC, I installed both awesome and gnome without
de-installing xfce. It is not completely unthinkable (although unlikely)
that they share some common parts.
