Research direction

Start by reviewing the advice in issue #88 and the SignInFlow configuration using firebase.auth().isSignInWithEmailLink on localhost. Reproduce the 404 and determine the missing configuration; done means email link sign-in works locally without the redirect or popup flow failing.

Description

I'm getting a 404 when trying to test email link sign in on localhost. I've followed the advice in #88 and tried changing SignInFlow to redirect.

signInFlow: firebase.auth().isSignInWithEmailLink(window.location.href) ? 'redirect' : 'popup'

Is there any further configuration needed to get email link sign in working?

Thank you for any advice
