I'm currently experimenting with Social Media Sign-in and have realised something slightly strange on how these logins are delivered which is stemming from the fact that my workplace, like most offices, blocks 3rd party cookies as a security policy.
Google Firebase Authentication uses 3rd party cookies and so if I try to use Firebase, I'm redirected to the Google page (as expected) but when I'm redirected back to the originating webpage after logging in (and Firebase tries to set cookies), I get an error saying This browser is not supported or 3rd party cookies and data may be disabled.
However, MongoDB Stitch somehow works and I'm able to actually login, even with 3rd party cookies disabled. I really can't seem to make sense of why that's the case but I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on it. If it helps, MongoDB Stitch asks that you set https://stitch.mongodb.com as Origin URI and https://stitch.mongodb.com/api/client/v2.0/auth/callback as Authorised Redirect URI in the Google Console - whilst you have to setup your own website URIs inside the MongoDB Console which I believe might be the difference?
In any case, MongoDB Stitch's documentation is severely deficient (thanks to it still being in Public Beta) so I would really like to go the Google Firebase way if at all possible.

Firebase Auth provides server-side session cookie management for traditional websites that rely on session cookies.
You can use Firebase Authentication to allow users to sign in to your app using one or more sign-in methods, including email address and password sign-in, and federated identity providers such as Google Sign-in and Facebook Login.
No Firebase Authentication…To use the Firebase Storage we need to authenticate a user via Firebase authentication. The default security rules require users to be authenticated. Firebase Storage is basically a powerful and simple object storage, in which you can store your files easily.
If you haven't yet connected your app to your Firebase project, do so from the Firebase console. Enable Email/Password sign-in: In the Firebase console, open the Auth section. On the Sign in method tab, enable the Email/password sign-in method and click Save.
Have you tried using gapi.auth2, the Google sign in library for Javascript?
Last time I checked, it worked with 3rd party cookies disabled. You can use it to obtain a Google ID token or access token and then sign in to Firebase:
firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(googleIdToken, googleAccessToken))...`
