I investigated and I could reproduce the crash on Fennec, Fenix, Firefox Focus, Reference Browser and GeckoView Example. As such I think the issue stems from GV.

Device information

• Android device: Samsung Galaxy Note 10 (Android 10).
• Fennec, Reference Browser and Focus versions: Latest from store.
• GeckoView Example: from latest central.

Videos with the crash

• Fennec
• Firefox Focus
• Reference Browser
