Read Mozilla docs. Mozilla can link directly against xft or against
freetype2. This has nothing to do with the toolkit of choice as the
canvas (the part where site content is rendered) is toolkit-independent.

Enable/disable xft/freetype2 has no impact on the rest of Fx GUI.

Read the whole thing:

ac_add_options --enable-xft
        Enables XFT advanced font rendering. This is only available with
        --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2, and it is recommended with gtk2 
        
ac_add_options --enable-freetype2
        Enables freetype font rendering. This is the default for the GTK
        toolkit. Not compatible with --enable-xft
        
Especially the "not compatible with" part. Full configure options
