firefox problems after emerge -uaDNv world

Hello,

I recently updated my system with emerge -uaDNv world
I also did a revdep-rebuild afterwards and dispatch-conf.
All seemed to work fine. However, after rebooting my system I have now problems with e.g. firefox, thunderbird and acroread. E.g. when starting the firefox it very shortly pops up and then directly disappears again.
Applications such as kile or openoffice dont have this problem....

What is wrong now and how can I solve this problem?

Cheers.

yes, there is:

No running windows found
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_xlib_surface_create
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127)

You know what to do?

hm...

i don't really know what's happening but emerge --info and the versions of firefox and maybe xorg or cairo that you have installed might help...

ok, I found the solution. For any reason the cairo seemed to be updated without X support.
I tried USE="X" emerge cairo and then, everything worked again...
