Answer 1

Go to tsconfig.json,

Change the target from es2015 to es5.

This worked for me.

I think the compiler is still having issues when you use the AngularFire Database methods, I am not 100% sure of the cause, but changing the target solved the issue immediately and my user field was easily created in the DataBase

Answer 2

change TARGET in TSCONFIG.JSON from es2015 to es5 and then recompile with ng serve
