This is why everyone I know waits until the RSUs vest and the stock hits their investment account to quit. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
What does the plan say? I would assume if you are still employed, you get them, but the plan could be written so you don’t

Definitely wait to give notice until after the vesting date. Most companies will be very accommodating if you tell them you need to wait X weeks or months to start because you have a substantial financial event to account for. From a current company perspective, there’s a substantial financial benefit to them to walk you out if you give notice ahead of that deadline. As much as most companies say they are interested in an employees best interest, I can assure you that when it comes down to major bonuses and stock options, they will act in favor of their bottom line. For the new company, one alternative is to ask if they can offer a sign-on bonus or stock grant to offset the potential for lost offerings. If that’s the case and it’s net almost the same, that may incentivize you to jump ship early. I think it’s more likely that they would be willing to wait, but if there’s a timeline on their side where they need you ASAP, that might be a deciding factor.

Is there any risk of them firing you after you give notice & before you’re 100% vested? (Idk if that would be legal, so hopefully more experienced people will weigh in.)

That’s a very good point and absolutely possible although depends on your role. It is at will employment and they can ask you to leave next day after you resign. My advice would be to resign the day after vesting date…just to be on safer side. You can certainly negotiate that with your new employer
