I don't know if this is the best solution but is a workaround.

create a file server.js with a simple express server

"server.js"

var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');

var appServer = express();
appServer.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '')));

appServer.get('*', (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + 'index.html');
});

http.createServer(appServer).listen(3007, function() {
    console.log('Express server listening on port');
});

In your main.js(electron-main-js-file)

On the top of the main.js start the node server

require('./server');

and change the "win.loadURL"

win.loadURL('http://localhost:3007');

I've fork your project and implement, the error from firebase is gone but jQuery is not defined, I think you can fix that.
