Hey there! I couldn't figure out what this issue is about, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I don't believe the firebase NPM package has ever supported a named firebase export. Instead you should use either:

import firebase from 'firebase';

Or:

import * as firebase from 'firebase';
