Still getting this when moving from angular/fire 7.6.0 to 17. Its unique to the observable calls as OP pointed out. If you make the promise based reads vs queries, it works fine.

At this point the only solution is not using angular/fire 16+...

If you're using angular/fire you also shouldn't need to install firebase as a dependency from what I see. So independent of having a firebase dependency installed this still occurs.
