Send this kind of thing to the dev after giving more details to them.

Also DONT send errors without sanitizing them, especially on a federated public platform. The info given can help identify all sorts of things about your devices and software. For example, the error shows you could be using a desktop running Linux x86_64 with X11 windowing system for Firefox browser. That or the application uses Geckoview something. It also seems to be very out of date using Firefox 105 (though I dont personally work with geckoview). That info combined with the app name tells anyone you are on android using a specific app that already has errors.

It is important you keep things up to date and avoid sharing these details publically since they are instrumental in performing a cyber attack. I only picked out the most obvious details, but there is also info about specific software versions, web requests, and possibly a session id.
