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?

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.
