i'm not happy enabling support again.

future firefox depends on cairo built with tee support. That feature is experimental and we don't want it.  FS#22886

When firefox 4 is out, whether we compile it against system cairo or the library comes with firefox, the cairo library firefox uses will have tee support enabled. As there seems no other application using tee backend, compiling system cairo with tee backend should not create large scale issue. Or, the plan is disabling tee support even if firefox 4 is out, and effectively forcing default firefox package of our distribution to render text horribly? And according to cairo's ChangeLog, tee is disabled by default simply because they "don't want to enable it by default when nobody uses it."
