Question

How exactly are concurrent users defined for the Firebase application?

It seems that in the analysis panel there are more peak concurrent users than open browser windows using my application.

I'm a little worried that I will be in the FB for the future with 1000 simultaneous limits, but maybe I overestimate the popularity of my application and the likelihood of reaching this limit. :)

A parallel user is a single client (browser tab, mobile application, Node.js process, etc.) connected to Firebase at a time. If you have 3 browser tabs open, you should see 3 simultaneous users (note that the statistics in our analytics panel are slightly delayed).

In our experience, on average, one concurrent user is equivalent to ~ 1400 visits per month for a website. 1000 is a very large number of concurrent users for most applications, and less than 1% of Firebase applications ever achieve this.

Please note that Firebase is able to connect applications much further than 1000 simultaneous users, so if you have a larger application (even a much larger application), this is not a problem.
