First, iceweasel:
Perhaps what works very well for me, may be of help. On my jessie
(upgraded from wheezy) old core2 duo laptop with 2G ram, iceweasel runs
quite nicely with the noscript addon. 2 instances/profiles of iceweasel
are up, one with 7 open tabs at the moment. So first I'd suggest you
run iceweasel without addons to check performance. You could try
chromium browser which also runs fine for me.
Next, wireless:
xfce is also my DE. For wireless, I use network-manager. wicd is not
installed. Your log shows wireless is up and you have network-manager:
> Jun 2 08:36:53 spree60e NetworkManager[526]: <info> Activation (wlan0) successful, device activated.
Right click the nm-applet in your xfce4 desktop notification area for
settings. Don't see it? Run ~$ nm-applet & Not found?
Install network-manager-gnome.
Or use nmcli. man nmcli for help.
Good luck and have fun!
Ralph
