I have just tested privacybadger with firefox-esr in Buster but I can't
reproduce this behavior. When I go to youtube.com two trackers are
detected and successfully blocked.

That is weird. Could you try again with 2018.12.17 after you have
cleared your Firefox cache in ~/.cache/mozilla. Is this also
reproducible when you create a complete new Firefox profile?
