ReferenceError: Firebase is not defined line 153 in backbonefire.js

Hi I am trying to run this model:

var APP = APP || {};

APP.FBLocationsModel = Backbone.Firebase.Model.extend({

    urlRoot: APP.fireBase.config.databaseURL + 'users/',
    autoSync: true,

    initialize: function () {

        this.listenToOnce(this, 'FBInit', this.setUrl);
        this.connectWithFirebase();

    },

    setUrl: function () {

        this.url = this.urlRoot + FB.uid + "/locations/";

    },

    connectWithFirebase: function () {

        var that = this;

        //check if firebase config is there
        if (APP.fireBase.config) {
            FB.config = APP.fireBase.config;
        } else {
            throw("Need firebase config object");
        }

        //initialize -> auth -> login
        FB.init(function () {
            that.trigger('FBInit')
        });

    }
});

and in the code I do this:

APP.fbLocationsModel = new APP.FBLocationsModel();
APP.fbLocationsModel.fetch();

After doing so I get this error in my console:
ReferenceError: Firebase is not defined line 153 in backbonefire.js

Firebase itself is loaded (version 3.6.10)
looking in the code ofr backbonefire.js I see this code:

Backbone.Firebase._determineRef = function(objOrString) {
        switch (typeof(objOrString)) {
            case 'string':
                return new Firebase(objOrString);
            case 'object':
                return objOrString;
            default:
                Backbone.Firebase._throwError('Invalid type passed to url property');
        }
    };

In the case 'string' I is where it says: 'Firebase is not defined' but can't figure out why.
I do use require, maybe that is an issue here?

Hi Bart, sorry for my late response. Next time, please mark clearly which exact line of your posted code caused the error as we can't see any lines here ;) Nevertheless, please note that only Collections have to extend from 'Firebase', not models (they stay Backbone.Model.extend({...})). Furthermore your model makes less sense, in order to achieve such functionality in harmony with Backbone's architecture, think about putting the code into the app's router or a controller-like-init-class.

Thanks for the response. I creatief a small script where I can easily call the firebase methods so I could use this in backbone. Groetjes, Bart-Jan

This seems like #161 since new Firebase(objOrString); doesn't work with Firebase 3.x or 4.x.
