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

Did you try to use firebase-tools v13.17.0 and firebase-admin v12.5.0? That made the problem disappear to me

It worked for me to run the command sudo npm install -g firebase-tools at the operating system level, which runs the firebase emulators:start command to update to version 13.17.0, thank you
