Additional information

I tried on both node 16 and 18

Update:
I also tried without firebase installed in the project (I started with the regular Vue getting started, now I only did the Nuxt one) and I am getting a different error:

I'm also seeing this issue. The module is completely unusable.

[bogdanciuca]

Looks like it occurs when ssr: true, which is the default. vuefire-nuxt-example offers some explanation.

it's fixed and released now! Turns out vuefire was still relying on some workarounds for Nuxt 3.0.0 and they broke in newer versions
