Be able to run the firebase emulator in IDX
I love that i can connect to a production firebase environment, but can you make it so i can run my emulators from within IDX? i managed with the firebase-tools to setup everything but i just get an error when doing
firebase emulators:start
i emulators: Starting emulators: auth, functions, firestore

@Marny did you install java from the terminal? (if so, how?) i am trying to use the emulators but it says java is not installed

I was actually able to run the emulators like this:
in `firebase.json` change the emulators to use ports that are not used by IDX
```
"auth": {
"port": 7777
},
"functions": {
"port": 7776
},
"firestore": {
"port": 7775
},
"ui": {
"enabled": true,
"port": 7774
},
```and then export the ports 1 by 1 in your terminal:
```
export port=7777
export port=7776
export port=7775
export port=7774```
and then run `firebase emulators:start` and it should start the emulators
