I couldn't get the crash data at all. But I managed to get this from the Terminal;

Provide the steps to replicate the issue. What OS? X11 or Wayland? What Desktop? What version of Firefox? Make sure you have the latest FFmpeg and libavcodec packages. see screenshot

Can you update the browser and try again?
