npm i firebase now installs v9 Modular SDK so you cannot used the old imports. Try refactoring your code to this:

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';

const firebaseConfig = {
  //...
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

If you want to use older syntax then change your imports to compat libraries:

import firebase from "firebase/compat/app"
import "firebase/compat/auth"
import "firebase/compat/firestore"
// other services is needed

You can read more about it in the documentation
