Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I've never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.

Yes, there was a remote code execution vulnerability in the CSS engine of firefox a little while ago. If you're on desktop version 131 or lower, update to 131.0.3 when possible. I don't know how the versioning works for the Android versions here...

Yeah that seems about right.

I don't know how the versioning works for the Android versions here...

Android has the same versions as desktop here, which is why there is no differentiation. The main chunk of firefox is platform independent (and even used in thunderbird too).

So any firefox android app and fork thereof needs that version 131.0.3+ too (unless it is esr which is 128 currently).
