Bottom toolbar/address bar crashes on Android v1.73.89

[igorskyflyer]

Description

In the previous version I changed a setting in the brave://flags page called Bottom toolbar in attempt to have a bottom toolbar/address bar, of course. That setting enabled a menu entry in the Settings that allows the user to set the toolbar position, see the screenshots below.

At the time, the toolbar was still at the top, even when set to Bottom. Unfortunately, I did not revert the given setting and the browser worked fine but after updating to the latest version, Brave now actually has a bottom toolbar but it also crashes indefinitely. How can I reset the flags without losing all my browsing data?

I have tried launching many activities, all of them crash except WebDev but nothing can be done from there. I've tried using a Search widget to trick Brave into launching a predefined URL (brave://flags) no luck, still crashes immediately.

Steps to reproduce

1. Be on a previous version on Brave (v1.71.123) on Android
2. Open brave://flags
3. Set Bottom Toolbar to enabled (1)
4. Restart
5. Open the app's Settings
6. Click on Address bar
7. Set to Bottom (2)
8. Install the latest version (v1.73.89)

Actual result

Expected result

No crashes should occur.
