Firebase hosting index.html only shows when specified in the URL `/index.html`, default/home page "Site not found"

Question

In my firebase URL, when I go to https://example.web.app, it says "Site not found" from Firebase.

But if I would go to https://example.web.app/index.html, the URL would work and it would show the index.html page.

How would I make it so it would point to the default page aka home page, instead of me having to redirect to the index.html page?

firebase.json:

{
  "database": {
    "rules": "database.rules.json"
  },
  "hosting": {
    "public": "dist",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ],
    "rewrites": [
      {
        "source": "**",
        "destination": "/index.html"
      }
    ]
  }
}

dist/index.html exists. dist directory is used for the public hosting.

index.html works fine when I redirect to https://example.web.app/index.html, but doesn't work when I go to https://example.web.app, how would I fix that?

The URL is just an "example," to try to explain to you guys. This is not the ACTUAL URL.

The best option is to contact Firebase customer support and ask help from them.
