I guess I know why upstream cairo never made it into Firefox: Mozilla's version of cairo is more like a fork than a version of cairo with a few patches applied. Not only that: Some of the patches are documented in .patch files and a README. And some are not documented at all with just the change i

Thomas, probably it is possible to build FF and TB with the system's libcairo. I do not know why the maintainers of these packages stick to stone-old libraries which have many bugs which are already fixed in the current version. But I will not do this fix as I am not the maintainer of FF and TB. T

As of ubuntu 16.04, I can now print some PDFs in evince (16.04 ships v3.18.2), which were not printable before. Therefore, I don't have to use okular for that purpose any more (workaround for 14.04). Basically, if FF knew about a new libcairo and that helped, this whole issue would be fixed for 16
