Segmentation faults are almost always due to an invalid operation by a node that has native code.

Have you updated node js on a previously working node-red installation? If so, you would need to do an `npm rebuild`

why?

Did you do npm rebuild?

Which firebase node are you using? e.g. node-red-contrib.xxxxx?

That node is 3y, 8m old and has this in the [readme](https://github.com/deldrid1/node-red-contrib-firebase#danger-will-robinson)...

> See [Firebase uncaught exception crashing my node red on v1.1.1 · Issue #28 · deldrid1/node-red-contrib-firebase · GitHub](https://github.com/deldrid1/node-red-contrib-firebase/issues/28) - unfortunately, this repo is no longer maintained and is known to not work with the latest versions of node-red / Firebase. Perhaps you can take up the cause - if you are up to the challenge and want to submit a complete PR or a new repo that wants to take this npm package name, please submit a PR or File a Pull Request and I will be happy to review.

I would look to use an [alternative contrib node](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=firebase&type=node) - one that is newer
