No. I built this SeaMonkey before Bitwise released Firefox along with 
the RPM builds of Cairo and Pango. When I built the dependencies, 
libtool decided to only create static libs and I didn't worry about it. 
So a bunch of stuff is statically linked in.
I also used the internal Cairo as we have been since FFv4 rather then 
the new external one (still needed by Pango) and built just before 
Bitwise disabled printing, so printing should work as well as ever.
I'm actually now using a newer build that is aligned with FF38.6 that 
has the same dependencies as the Bitwise build.

My fonts looked horrible at first. I even built some experimental builds 
to see if others had the problems. I did a few updates which seemed to 
help and now I'm used to the new look.
Running things like
fc-match.exe sans
fc-match.exe warpsans
etc
might tell you something.
Not sure if utilities are needed but they are handy and if add fonts, 
fc-cache.exe should be run.

Passwords still show up in about:data and when needed here.
