Latest version seems to have a problem.

Try installing one previous version:

npm i -g firebase-tools@v3.17.2

UPDATE:

Before doing so, it might be better to uninstall faulty one:

npm uninstall -g firebase-tools

also make sure you have windows-build-tools installed (though I have it on my machines, error you share doesn't really seem to be related to this)

npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

UPDATE 2

I've updated my Node & NPM versions and then to latest Firebase Tools.

Still getting WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Exit status 1 error, but since it's a warning, I've decided to give it a try. So far no problems.

UPDATE 3

windows-build-tools package got an update yesterday so I installed it with hope it solves problems installing latest version of firebase-tools. It did not, same errors occur.

Actually you can try installing the npm i -g firebase-tools@v3.16.0 version and try to install the npm install windows-build-tools**in your local folder and after that install **npm install node-gyp in your local folder and before doing all these try to disable your antivirus

curl -sL firebase.tools | bash

This worked for me, don't know if it's really relevant, got if from here
