Firefox Ubuntu package doesn’t ship the emoji fonts that are normally shipped by upstream tarballs. I’m not sure why.
Adding those (in /usr/lib/firefox/fonts/EmojiOneMozilla.ttf
) is normally enough.
Chris Coulson might now more.

@3v1n0 That is fixed in Ubuntu’s Firefox 58. Ask Chris why Firefox 58 is in every Ubuntu release except 18.04. But beware he is trying to get someone else to maintain Firefox in Ubuntu!
(By the way, EmojiOneMozilla is different than the Noto font we’re using by default for the rest of the desktop but color emoji support in web browsers is complicated.)
LibreOffice (current version and upcoming 6.0) doesn’t support color fonts.
Relevant bug reports:
And a similar bug report for Chromium: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=617379
Is there a chance to have that distropatched?
When it’s implemented upstream, and if the patch is not too intrusive, that could be a candidate for distropatching indeed.
@jbicha is it possible to toggle between monochrome and color emoji fonts somehow?
We currently face a problem with light notifications with have dark text on them. The emojis in messages are then colored dark, too.
