From memory (it was maybe 2 years ago), firefox crashed frequently -
if I opened multiple youtube tabs (hopefully paused, or with sound
off!) and then tried moving to new positions. I think there were
also other crashes blamed on system cairo. But firefox is more
robust these days.
Unfortunately, ff59-beta does not compile if system cairo is enabled
(one or more of the cargo packages seem to need an older version).

I think it was gcc-6, or perhaps 6.1, where we had to add those.
Without them, the firefox UI was severely broken (I think Bruce
reported inaccessible menu items). I think I tested without that in
gcc-7, but I don't remember the result.
