Opening website http://iantiqueonline.ning.com/ causes hundreds of lines output to syslog
I'm using Firefox 53.0.2 (64-bit) on a Ubuntu 16.04.2LTS system. The output that is written to my syslog is https://pastebin.com/apUuaD1D this is written hundreds of times per second. This has been going on for the previous few versions and I really can't say how far back it goes. It used to work fine. This is the one and only webpage that causes this. I've tried it safe mode also and there is no difference.

It's something related to the content in the Flash region in the center of the page, but I couldn't tell you what it is.
It doesn't appear that you would want to disable Flash on that page, but you could experiment with disabling the Flash plugin from using hardware acceleration to see whether that makes any difference. Please see the relevant section of this article:
Does at least the Shockwave Flash plugin work?

Thank you, I checked and hardware acceleration for flash is not checked in the flash plugin settings.

According to - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ I have You have version 25,0,0,148 installed. When going to the Adobe site for flash the the Adobe logo bounces around. Unfortunately I can't find any other way to test it but I'll assume since I get the logo moving that Flash is working.

If Flash is working then you can try to ask about this at a Linux oriented forum or ignore these messages.

I've tried that. I asked in the Ubuntu-Users forum, the Ubuntu-Gnome forum and in the strictly Gnome forum and you know, my question gets ignored. Anyone that run Linux knows that something isn't right if you get an hourly syslog snipped of 2+Mb in size. FWIW I don't have this issue when I use Chrome (just discovered this after installing Chrome).
Maybe you need to install a specific package that contains this widget if this is about some missing component(s).
