Bug Description
STEPS:
1. Fresh flash a device
2. Install the fonts-emojione (if it is already)
3. Restart
4. Open Facebook sign in
5. Click on message
6. Switch to the emoji keyboard type all the smileys
7. repeat with twitter
EXPECTED:
I expect them to all be colour like they are in other apps
ACTUAL:
In both the webbrowser version and the web app version of twitter and facebook the smiley and cat emojis are monochrome however after that they are colour.
Elleo is hoping that a small change can be made to make them all colour but may require oxide help so I am including oxide in the projects.

It seems to be specific to sites requesting Helvetica as their font, facebook and twitter both request "Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif", whereas Google just requests "Arial, sans-serif" and displays all emoji in colour. So I suspect we have some font that's aliased to Helvetica in some way that provides its own implementation of the smiley faces in monochrome which is overriding the emojione font.
