The system cairo option causes problems (Linux-wide) and I found no 
distribution that would stabilize it enough to make it the default.

You can add yourself to the push on Mozilla https://bugzil.la/856419

Switching it on causes nothing worse than the redrawing artifacts, but 
it's very often (at least for me) and so it doesn't seem beneficial to 
make it default.
