Here is a safe method to convert a value from firebase Timestamp type to JS Date in case the value is not Timestamp the method returns it as it is

Works for Angular 7/8/9

import firebase from 'firebase';
import Timestamp = firebase.firestore.Timestamp;

export function convertTimestampToDate(timestamp: Timestamp | any): Date | any {
  return timestamp instanceof Timestamp
    ? new Timestamp(timestamp.seconds, timestamp.nanoseconds).toDate()
    : timestamp;
}
