Webpack and firebase version not in sync?

[gedeon93]

This was working fine a week ago. Webpack updated from 5.66.0 to 5.67.0 and Firebase from 9.6.3 to 9.6.4 inside package.json and the entire setup broke with 10 high severity issues. I am very new to working with npm and firebase. Hopefully my relative ignorance is just a simple fix.

@gedeon93 Hmm I'm not sure what the issue is. Do you have to use the updated version? If not, you can uninstall webpack and firebase first, then reinstall the previous version with

npm i webpack@[version number]
npm i firebase@[version number]
