Description

Hi - I'm not sure if this is a bug report for FirebaseUI-web-react of FirebaseUI-web; I suspect this is the correct place but please tell me if not.

I'm running my app in Firebase Hosting, and I'm linking the magic/reserved URLs that autoconfigure firebase (``)

Later, when `` is mounted, I get this warn on the console:

> Warning: Firebase is already defined in the global scope. Please make sure Firebase library is only loaded once.

This warning is there because `window.firebase` is defined (it was defined from in the _init.js_ loaded from the reserved URL).

I understand this is because I have a "version" of firebase loaded from the CDN and another "version" of firebase loaded from NPM (from a firebaseui dependency).

I would ignore this warning (since I made sure I'm loading the same version of Firebase from the CDN and from npm) but after logging in using GOOGLE_AUTH as provider, I get:

> updateCurrentUser failed: First argument "user" must be an instance of Firebase User or null. Dismiss

and in [my experience this is related to the previous warning](https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web/issues/536#issuecomment-451788176).

So, my question would be: what's the correct way to use firebaseui-web-react when I'm running in the Firebase Hosting thus using Firebase from the CDN and not NPM.

thanks
