Hello Marek,

>From what I understand, Firefox-esr Debian packages do depend on libfreetype6 debian packages?
 https://packages.debian.org/sid/firefox-esr
And for now, freetype2 v2.10 seems to be part only of Experimental ?
 https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libfreetype6&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all 

If upstream binaries already use freetype2 v2.10, you have also the choice of installing an official Mozilla snap package (ESR, stable, candidate, beta):
