Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

Compound emoji characters, like 🏳️‍🌈 or 👩‍🚀, pressing backspace won't delete the whole character. For 🏳️‍🌈, backspace once produces 🏳️.

Expected results:

These emojis should be seen as single characters.

Reproduced on the latest version of Nightly 93.0a1 (2021-09-03), beta 92.0 and release 91.0.2.
Setting up flags, severity and a component for this in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.
Not a recent regression as this can be reproduced to at least Firefox 70.0.
Not reproducible on Chrome.
