In bug 1361957 we did a visual refresh of about:preferences which included adding some smile/sad SVG emoticons. Emoji is more widely supported now, so we should update these assets to use emoji font.

Hey! I would like to work on this issue. Could you please assign it to me?

Hi, I'm more than happy to fix this problem!

Hi Tiya and Chloe,

To be assigned to a bug, we generally prefer if work has already been started; so please submit a patch, and Bugzilla will automatically assign you to the ticket. (If you're concerned about making conflicting patches, I can suggest another bug for either one of you to work on.)

Hey! I want to work on this issue. Can I know where to find the code for about:preferences?

The code for about:preferences is in browser/components/preferences. But to update the faces, you might have to look at browser/themes/shared/preferences instead.

To have an idea of what kind of changes you might need to make, see this old revision.

Hello Outreachy applicants! I'm pinging our mentors to see if they have bandwidth to add this to the current set of mentored good-first-bugs.

If you haven't yet made contact with any of the active mentors, now would be a good time to say hello on Matrix (at https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#outreachy:mozilla.org). See also the Outreachy wiki page for more details: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Outreachy

Hey all, I'm assigning this to :wangareirungu3 for now. In the event that they are unable to submit a patch I'll reset the assignee / open it up again.

wangareirungu3 if you still want to work on this bug I would recommend taking a look back through the comments here as well as the patches that got submitted but never landed (you can find them in the "Attachments" section). That should give you a good idea of where to get started. You can reach out to me in the #reusable-components channel on Matrix or request information from me using the form below if you have any questions.

Hello Hanna, seems like the people who have commented above have been inactive for more than 6 days now, if in case this is bug open please do consider assigning it to me. The only other bug I'm currently working on is still in the discussion phase and I don't really have any other bug that I'm actively working on since the last few days seeing as a good number of them are taken. However, I would understand if you would like to assign it to somebody new for a fair chance. Thank you either ways!

Hey Siya, you can go ahead and get started on this. I'll reassign the bug over to you. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Hanna, I submitted a patch a few days ago and have added you as a reviewer. Kindly let me know if there is anything I am supposed to change. Thank you.

Hey Siya - I just left some comments, let me know if you have questions.
