So, I was too enthusiastic about when ff56 source would be available
(usually a day or two before the binaries) and I started to look at
the options in more detail when playing with the candidates.
After sorting out stylo (turned off, so we can use system nspr,
pixman), I checked that alsa without pulseaudio still worked on one
box (it did), and I added system cairo to see if the many changes in
firefox had made that usable again.
Previously, running several youtube tabs (turn sound off ;-) tended
to provike this, particularly when scrolling through them. So far,
things seem ok. I've now built the latest candidate with system
cairo, using at the moment, if there are problems then I suspect
that sending this mail will provoke them ;-)
Looking back at past logs I see that -lcairo is linked in, probably
from pangocairo, so this change, like with graphite2 and harfbuzz,
merely ensures the same version is used throughout. That doesn't
mean there is not some code which relied on how an old version
worked, so time will tell.
But if things look good in the next day, I'm inclined to reenable
system cairo in our mozconfig.
