Trying to open the macOS emoji picker (Ctrl + Cmd + Space) doesn't work. Using the Globe key + E also has unexpected behaviour. (See attached article)

Note: this issue is reproducible on Firefox. The proposed patch has been in the pipeline for several years now and it's unlikely there will be a fix anytime soon - could Zen Browser ship the patch first while waiting for Firefox to release something officially?
