The story so far:
It works fine to copy /usr/local/lib/firefox/fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf
to ~/.fonts.

However, it also works to install a symlink instead of copying, so that
when you update firefox, improvements in the font (if there are any)
will get used automatically.

Copying /usr/local/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf to ~/.fonts,
or installing a symlink, has no effect.

But symlinking from ~/.fonts/TwemojiMozilla.ttf to
/usr/local/share/fonts/noto/NotoColorEmoji.ttf works fine, too.

Okay; no more about emojis now.  Thank you all for your patience.
