Hi, when it comes to firebase extension. There is a path section which I have set to "recipes", now what do I do if I want to set other paths? Like "users" or "ingredients" these collections are in different locations in firestore.

Lukas you can install the extension multiple times for additional collections. And set a different path in each installation. You just want to click on the install button in the github repo readme again to install another instance.
