This is a component that render data from firebase storage and make it listed. What the function has to do is set the videos extracted from firebase storage to the useState. That way I can call videos and map into a new component, which happens to be a list of buttons. It works relatively well, the problem is that the component renders twice, the first time it doesn't save the videos in the state, and the second time it does. In other words, the component does not wait for the videos to be saved in the state, and simply renders itself, resulting in the list of buttons with the title of the videos not being displayed.

This is an example of how the component is begin rendering:
Anyone has an idea of why this is happening?
I found the answer in this thread. https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/35822
In short, this issue is due to React 18 Strict Mode. You can read about what's new in the React 18 Strict Mode.
If you are not using strict mode, it should not happen. If you don't need it, you can turn off React Strict Mode in the next.config.js. file as shown below.
const nextConfig = {
reactStrictMode: false
}
module.exports = nextConfig
