Bug#857249: firefox-esr: emojis not displayed in Google hangouts

[Dale Harris]

Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.8.0esr-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,


This problem exists in this latest version of Firefox that Debian is
using. When using Google hangouts via the Gmail web gui, emojis are not
being displayed. Appears lots of people are having the same issue on
other platforms.

Mozilla is trying to fix the problem.
