Firefox doesn't correctly display color emoji because Dejavu includes b&w emoji

STR:

I am using Firefox nightly, but the installed Firefox built into ubuntu works as well. Firefox comes with a font "TwemojiMozilla.ttf" which includes emojis in color.

1. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#Unicode_blocks
2. Scroll to row U+1F60x

What happens:

The emoji are not displayed in color, because Dejvu Sans seems to be rendered instead of TwemojiMozilla (the font built into Firefox).

Expected result:

Color emoji. Since Dejavu doesn't display color emoji and Firefox was kind enough to include a font that includes color emoji, Ubuntu's fontconfig should let Firefox do the right thing.
