Mozilla maintains a fork based on cairo-1.9.5 and only ever runs regression tests using it. System cairo exposed several issues in the past from crashes to graphical glitches. r393805 is more recent one. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200934 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739096 I wonder if Mozilla's fork would work once installed system-wide e.g., graphics/mozcairo following suit of graphics/mozjpeg. Cairo upstream doesn't change API/ABI often[1] and Firefox can still be built with system cairo. There're probably not many (if any) ports that really need recent version of cairo.
