If you want to test would be helpful.
You are right. Running x11-libs/cairo without xlib-xcb solves the problem. A re-emerged firefox with USE=system-cairo works flawlessly.
Is there ever a case where USE="system-cairo" and cairo[xlib-xcb] works?? I'm wondering if we should start requiring that flag to be off in the dependencies...
(In reply to Ian Stakenvicius from comment #5) > Is there ever a case where USE="system-cairo" and cairo[xlib-xcb] works?? > I'm wondering if we should start requiring that flag to be off in the > dependencies... We should force it off in the eclass already. There is no known configuration that work when cairo is built with xlib-xcb being enabled.
FWIW, installing firefox with USE="-system-cairo" caused (most) crashes to stop on my laptop (with an Intel GPU). My desktop (with a Radeon) only ever had intermittent crashes, and the USE flag change seemingly didn't affect anything. On both systems x11-libs/cairo is installed with USE="-xlib-xcb xcb". Here's the emerge --info of my desktop (the USE flags of cairo and firefox are the same on the laptop, though): % emerge --info firefox cairo Portage 2.2.20.1 (python 3.4.3-final-0,

Damn it, I was thinking of bug #558150, which also mentioned unsetting system-cairo as a fix. Sorry!
*** Bug 577562 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Just a note for non-devs and reminder for devs which were not CC'd on #577562, which has been closed as duplicate of this one: I gave an explaination why system-cairo makes firefox crash, please see comment #5. Also, upstream is aware of the issue, see comment #6.
www-client/firefox-38.x.0 is no longer in the portage tree. Closing.
