My red heart emoji (❤️) looks weird in #Firefox

This has been the case for quite a while now and I cannot for the life of my figure out why that is. I never explicitly made it this way.
It's only in Firefox and a machine with pretty much the exact same #NixOS config does not exhibit this issue.

I tried clearing unused fonts out of \~/.local/share/fonts/ (no emoji fonts remain) and updated the fc-cache but it didn't help. (Obviously I restarted Firefox.)

Any ideas?

Does it happen with a fresh Firefox profile too? Run firefox --ProfileManager to open the GUI, click Create Profile and then Start Firefox with it. After checking if you still have the issue, go back to this menu and select your previous original Profile to restore it.

@thingsiplay

Indeed it does not.

Time to bisect my prefs.js huh...

Have you messed about in Firefox's font settings?

did you block loading fonts in an addon, like ublock?

@ReversalHatchery

No and that has nothing to do with it. My local font should not produce this icon.

In fact, when I paste the emoji into UI elements in Firefox, it's the correct one.
