Same setup and I think same issue:

ERROR in node_modules/@firebase/database/dist/esm/src/api/Database.d.ts(4,33): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@firebase/app-types/private'.

Rolling back to "firebase": "4.8.0" "fixed" it for me.

They refactored the firebase javascript sdk typing files. AngularFire2 has to refactor the firebase typing imports to fix that issue.

Go back to firebase 4.8.0:

1. In your CLI with you project path type: npm uninstall firebase (which is 4.8.1)
2. then once fish uninstall, type: npm cache clear
3. -then type: npm install firebase@^4.8.0
4. -finally: Remove "firebase": "^4.8.1" in dependencies in package.json and Type "firebase": "4.8.0"
   (Note: without ^). Save All and your problem will be solved! :)

This still happens in firebase 4.10.1 with angularfire2 5.0.0-rc.6, is there a fix for this?
