I added the storage emulator to my project and started the emulators as always. When I access the emulator UI and click on the Storage tab I just get a white page and the following error shows up in the console:

I would appreciate any help with this and to see if this could be a bug.

Sure! We'd love to look into this. Please dump the full logs in the Developer Tools (right-click > Save as... > Upload here in the comments). Also the firebase-debug.log and storage-debug.log generated from the firebase emulators:start run (in the directory where you started it) please.

Happy to provide more details. Please find attached the firebase-debug.log and log export from Developer Tools. There is no storage-debug.log created in the directory.

I found the problem. I needed to add the new port 9199 to my ssh config for port forwarding. Maybe it would be possible to add some error messages to the UI in case it can't connect. Sorry for not seeing this earlier.
