Firebase hosting not working for angular app

After lots of development locally using ng serve to interact with my angular app, I decided to add firebase hosting. After completing the setup, I clicked on the web link, which never loaded. Using 'firebase emulators: start' in the terminal yielded a page blank page, but with a working title and background color. In the console, I found these 2 errors:

Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.Understand this errorAI
​

and

main-BG7YVEIX.js:1 Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.
​

Here is my build section of angular.json

"build": {
"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:application",
"options": {
"outputPath": "dist/goalApp",
"index": "src/index.html",
"browser": "src/main.ts",
"baseHref": "/",
"polyfills": [
"zone.js"
],
"tsConfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
"assets": [
"src/assets",
{
"glob": "**/*",
"input": "public"

}
],
"styles": [
"src/styles.css"
],
"scripts": [],
"server": "src/main.server.ts",
"prerender": true,
"ssr": {
"entry": "server.ts"
}
},
"configurations": {
"production": {
"budgets": [
{
"type": "initial",
"maximumWarning": "1MB",
"maximumError": "1.5MB"
},
{
"type": "anyComponentStyle",
"maximumWarning": "4.5kB",
"maximumError": "5kB"
}
],
"outputHashing": "all"
},
"development": {
"optimization": false,
"extractLicenses": false,
"sourceMap": true
}
},
"defaultConfiguration": "production"
},


and my firebase.json

{
"hosting": {
"public": "dist/goalApp",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
],
"rewrites": [
{
"source": "**",
"destination": "/browser/index.csr.html"
}
]
}
}


I looked through this thread. But none of the answers seem to work for me. Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html". Since my title is being rendered, I assume the build knows the base folder and the other errors are something else.

What do I need to change to get my app rendered?
