docs(app, other): add a note about dynamic initialization on other

this was confusing to users because the install notes are very specific
about how to do initialization with the firebase config on the native platforms,
but there was no mention of the completely different style needed for "other" / web

+## Other / Web
+
+If you are using the firebase-js-sdk fallback support for [web or "other" platforms](platforms#other-platforms) then you must initialize Firebase dynamically by calling [`initializeApp`](/reference/app#initializeApp).
+
+However, you only want to do this for the web platform. For non-web / native apps the "default" firebase app instance will already be configured by the native google-services.json / GoogleServices-Info.plist files as mentioned above.
+
+At some point during your application's bootstrap processes, initialize firebase like this:
+
+```javascript
+import { getApp, initializeApp } from '@react-native-firebase/app';
+
+// web requires dynamic initialization on web prior to using firebase
+if (Platform.OS === 'web') {
+  const firebaseConfig = {
+    // ... config items pasted from firebase console for your web app here
+  };
+
+  initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
+}
+
+// ...now throughout your app, use firebase APIs normally, for example:
+const firebaseApp = getApp();
+```
