I'm dealing with this issue for almost two weeks now. I tried a lot of workarounds but none seems to be working. I've installed angular-fire and firebase to its latest version, tried ng add @angular/fire, configured custom webpack.config.ts, tried rolling back to every suggested previous version. None fixed this issue.
The Actual Error:
de-10@de10-LIFEBOOK-A555:~/Desktop$ node dist/server.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:797
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'firebase/app'

}
And I can't let go of Firebase cause then I face:
