Firebase Troubleshooting

What it means: The Google sign-in popup was closed before completing authentication.

Solutions:

• Make sure to complete the sign-in process in the popup window
• Don't close the popup before selecting your Google account
• Check if popup blockers are preventing the window from opening
• Try disabling browser extensions that might interfere

What it means: Bad request to Firebase servers, usually due to configuration issues.

Common causes:

• Invalid Firebase project configuration
• Incorrect API keys or project settings
• Domain not authorized in Firebase console
• Authentication methods not enabled

Solutions:

• Verify your Firebase project settings in the Firebase Console
• Add your domain to authorized domains: Firebase Console → Authentication → Settings → Authorized domains
• Enable email/password and Google authentication methods
• Check that your API key is valid and hasn't been restricted

If Firebase services are unreachable:

• Check your internet connection
• Verify your firewall isn't blocking Firebase domains
• Try refreshing the page
• Check if your network blocks googleapis.com or firebase.com

Ensure these steps are completed:

1. Firebase Project Setup:
   • Create project at Firebase Console
   • Enable Authentication service
   • Enable Email/Password and Google sign-in methods
2. Domain Authorization:
   • Add localhost:3000 to authorized domains (for development)
   • Add your production domain when deploying
3. Configuration:
   • Copy your web app configuration from Firebase Console
   • Update src/lib/firebase.ts with your config
   • Ensure all required fields are filled correctly
4. Test Users:
   • Create test users in Firebase Console
   • Or allow user registration in your Authentication settings

For best results:

• Use a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Enable cookies and JavaScript
• Disable strict tracking protection for this site
• Allow popups from this domain
• Clear browser cache if experiencing issues
