I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

I'm not really sure how firebaseui-web consumes TS files but it seems like Typescript at least at one point was not able to handle ESM imports: ajv-validator/ajv#1381

I think the fix might be to use esModuleInterop in whatever project is consuming the types package, but it doesn't look like there's any .tsconfig in firebaseui-web that I can find, where it could be set?
