I was just trying to point out why mozilla pushes their internal cairo. They want the best chance that a random person downloading firefox will have a good experience. They can help ensure that by stabilizing on one release of cairo and pixman. But nearly everything in their versions will be upstreamed or is a backport from a newer upstream. This community is not the typical person downloading firefox. The people here are (probably) going to stay up to date with respect to cairo and won't go blaming mozilla if their pages load dog slow. You could certainly give it a shot if you'd like. Build a firefox with the internal cairo and see if you get a better experience than using your system's cairo. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
