Good for me.

Note that with fonts-noto-color-emoji and the newer version of 
fontconfig arriving in unstable, the emoji displayed by thunderbird are 
oversized now.

The good workaround is to install that EmojiOneMozilla.ttf in 
/usr/lib/thunderbird/fonts/.

This will become a more pressing problem in a few days (fontconfig is 
waiting in the deferred queue)
