For example:

The icon fails to appear in the title bars of:

In lieu of the icon, there's a blank space; like a large typo (as if the page author accidentally pressed and held the space bar). It took me a while to figure out what was wrong.

Diigo aside: I expect the graphic to cause problems in other situations.

Broken in Firefox Quantum on a Mac

Firefox ESR 60.2.2 (64-bit) on Mountain Lion, Mac OS X 10.9.5.

In lieu of the cartoon fox there's an airplane, plus something illegible:

that's because the fox emoji is not supported on your machine, nothing we can really do unfortunately. Emoji are now everywhere and support is good. It should not break, just like a French letter would not break either. It might not be well displayed on some devices, but we cannot know that.

As for your bookmarking service, they have to fix their tool (I suppose using a different charset like utf8mb4, because that's also an issue on addons-server).
