Debian 10 uses glibc 2.28, but new Firefox shipped with Playwright needs glibc 2.29+. Debian 11 has glibc 2.29+, but official Node images are only shipped with Debian 10.
Solution is to use latest Ubuntu instead of Debian. The downside is about 40 MB / 12% increase in compressed image size. I think it's ok since the image is still 70 MB lighter than the most widely used
node-puppeteer-chrome.
