Describe the bug

When i try to use firestore v10 in background script i get the following error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: XMLHttpRequest is not defined
    at ac.g (xmlhttp.js:170:3)
    at k.ha (xmlhttp.js:29:36)
    at ic (channelrequest.js:582:19)
    at gc (channelrequest.js:511:8)
    at k.Na (webchannelbase.js:1486:13)
    at ub (run.js:116:15)

I am very certain that firestore is now using fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest, but maybe i am wrong. Using "firebase": "10.3.1"
