Comment:

 There is no new build farm in the sense that it include bleeding-edge
 software. We switched from Ubuntu Lucid to Debian Wheezy. The latter is
 still supported but is pretty old. And, yes, we benefit from the upgrade
 because Ubuntu Lucid did not receive any security updates whatsoever for a
 while now anymore.

 That said this is not a bug due to us using Wheezy now and would still
 occur if we built on CentOS. Mozilla code since Firefox 44 requires
 fontconfig > 2.7.0 (2.7.0 got released 7 years ago). See:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1243073 for details and a
 workaround if you really can't upgrade your system.
