A screenshot of the Github reaction button with a purplish small heart Emoji with a 1 next to it. It does not look like the red heart emoji should look.

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?

Have you messed about in Firefox's font settings?

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.

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