@rts-cwalker The same happened to me.
Changing it to firebase 4.8.0 fixed the issue as stated in the other thread.
Solution:
1. Inside
package.json, remove^from"firebase": "^4.8.1"1.1 Downgrade Firebase from 4.8.1 to 4.8.0 by changing4.8.1to4.8.01.2 End result should look like this:"firebase": "4.8.0"2. Runnpm updatein the Project Root. NPM will downgrade Firebase for ya 3. Runng serve --opento check for compilation errors. There shouldn’t be any. 4. Enjoy!Reason:
Firebase had introduced some breaking changes that AngularFire2 had not coped up with yet. Until the AngularFire2 team work it out, this will be the solution.
Add a thumbs up emoji and direct anyone having the same trouble here! Would save a lot of their time!
