Emojis blank in Firefox, old-style in Edge
Opened this issue · 2 comments
New emojis are working fine in the Windows emoji picker, but Firefox shows empty spaces and Edge is still showing the old Windows emojis.

In Firefox, yeah, they just show up blank - I suspect that's because Firefox has it's own font rendering library built-in, and something about this particular color font isn't supported there? Could be it's using an older font rendering library or something - from what I could gather, this type of color font is only support by native Windows font rendering quite recently.
Firefox uses its own version of the twitter emojis "Twemoji Mozilla" by default. You can change it by going to about:config and changing the value of font.name-list.emoji to something like Segoe UI Emoji, Twemoji Mozilla (the font after the comma serves as fallback).
