Additional context
firebase.json

{  
  "emulators": {  
    "firestore": {
      "host": "0.0.0.0",
      "port": 8080
    },
    "ui": {
      "enabled": true
    },
    "singleProjectMode": true
  },
  "firestore": {
    "rules": "firestore.rules",
    "indexes": "firestore.indexes.json"
  }
}

I'm loading sample test data via this firebase-export-metadata.json that runs fine on my local laptop

{
  "version": "X.X.X",
  "firestore":
  {
    "version": "X.XX.X",
    "path": "2022-11-20T02:56:20_12843",
    "metadata_file": "2022-11-20T02:56:20_12843.overall_export_metadata"
  }
}

firestore.rules (default)

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /{document=**} {
      // This rule allows anyone with your database reference to view, edit,
      // and delete all data in your database. It is useful for getting
      // started, but it is configured to expire after 30 days because it
      // leaves your app open to attackers. At that time, all client
      // requests to your database will be denied.
      //
      // Make sure to write security rules for your app before that time, or
      // else all client requests to your database will be denied until you
      // update your rules.
      allow read, write: if request.time < timestamp.date(2022, 12, 20);
    }
  }
}

firestore.indexes.json (default)

{
  "indexes": [],
  "fieldOverrides": []
}

Duplicate of #912

[jeremytondo]

I'm curious. Has anyone actually got this working with codespaces? #912 helped, but I still can't get passed some CORS and Websocket errors. So, while I can load and use the UI, the Firestore section will not load.

[Skarvion]

@jeremytondo Have you ensure that you forward the port for the websocket other than the ones for the services? It should be listed as extra port

[jeremytondo]

@Skarvion Yeah, I went through and made sure that all ports being used were forwarded. I haven't tried this in awhile though as I decided to find a solution other than Code Spaces.

@Skarvion May I ask which solution you chose instead of Codespaces?

My bad... @jeremytondo Which solution did you choose?

@ezequieltejada I ended up using VSCode server on my own hardware.
