Oh bother... a known issue just not easy to find without a browser.

After adding radeon.modeset=0  to
the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub/conf
I am able to use firefox and post this follow up.

Other b43 users should also check to see if
Broadcom has updated firmware.

See
    http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#b43_and_b43legacy
for more info.

Anyhow much improved once I found that seamonkey worked
well enough I was able to do a better web search and find
a better solution.  Now that I have both a chicken and an
egg I will be ready for breakfast in the morning.
