Description

Get these errors in the browser console.

"Error getting document at path ******: FirebaseError: Expected first argument to collection() to be a CollectionReference, a DocumentReference or FirebaseFirestore"

and

"Error fetching user data: FirebaseError: Expected first argument to collection() to be a CollectionReference, a DocumentReference or FirebaseFirestore"

Had to override firebase with this in the package.json to get it to pull documents from firebase db.

"overrides": {
"firebase": "^12.7.0"
},

Research direction

Start with the package.json Firebase dependency and reproduce the browser-console errors while pulling collections and documents. Compare behavior with and without the reported firebase ^12.7.0 override, then verify that collection and user-data reads work without the override and without either error.
