It chopped off some information. The Emojis I listed were: Boxing Glove, Martial Arts Uniform, and Drum with Drumsticks on the http://emojipedia.org/unicode-9.0/ pages.  The Wiki page had numerous ones that did not display correctly.  

Also, most of the Flags here didn't render how one would expect: http://emojipedia.org/unicode-6.0/ Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/dpV5A77.png

FF doesn't support Unicode 9.0 at the moment (bug 1281448).

Windows 7 hasn't color emoji font and it will use EmojiOne into browser/fonts.  But EmojiOne doesn't support Unicode 9.0 glyph, so it doesn't render newer glyph.

On Windows 10 Anniversary update has Unicode 9.0 font, so it can render it correctly.

I guess that this is fixed at the latest version of Firefox since we update default emoji font.  Does this still occur?

What wasn't working is now working in 64, as far as what I linked to in this bug.  I guess Unicode 11 will be the next one that needs to be added if possible: https://emojipedia.org/unicode-11.0/ (none render).
