Firebase authentication is failing on dashboard

[kevinsbarnard]

When navigating to the dashboard page (any tab), the web UI is failing to authenticate at the https://fathomnet.org/api/firebase/auth endpoint. See in the screenshot below, it is passing null in for the bearer token, which causes an 500 response. This causes all subsequent authenticated requests to fail. Tested on latest Firefox and Chrome with no extensions.

@ermbutler Do you by chance have any time to look into this?

Possibly related: in the "People" admin view (AccountPeople.vue), the showDetails/editDetails functions fail, so the relevant dialog UI is never opened. I got as far as figuring out that the buildUserExt function was never called on the user objects... maybe loadPeople isn't being called due to the authentication error?

Hi @kevinsbarnard -- I took a look around, and I made a few edits and that seems to help stop this particular 500 error from happening. The change is related to some code on the Account template which was carried over from Collections view (which is now a component) so I co-located that code into the component and that seems to help.

Here is the branch: https://github.com/fathomnet/fathomnet-web-ui/tree/dev/issue_144
