I have not used ssr before so i just want to ask some clarify-ing questions.
I am using firebase auth to authenticate users for an admin dashboard to add remove products etc.
The part that is unclear to me is when can i use ssr since the auth is done client side and if i want to acess something i have to use a hook.
What can it be useful for when building a dashboard , maybe you would suggest that i save the token in cookies and make requests with it server sided but is that the prefered way, arent we to offload the server load by fetching client side ?

You basically want a Auth Provider which supports SSR.
I don't know about Firebase but Supabase wrote a good Blogpost about it when they started supporting Next14 (RSC).
I know that supabase is not firebase however the blogpost got some good info in it, to clarify the concept of SSR Auth vs Client Auth:
