Thank you for the report karah. Had this bug been reported before? If
so, then there was no need to file a new bug, otherwise I'm not sure how
you'd expect an unreported bug to be fixed.
Anyway, I'm able to observe the issue as you describe it in a 19.04 VM.
Keeping the F11 key down seems to grind the shell to a halt, but I don't
see it crash. Instead, it appears frozen, but if I release the F11 key
and wait for a while, the system becomes usable again. Without further
investigation, I guess what happens is that firefox queues a large
number of (fullscreen on; fullscreen off) events while the F11 key is
down, and the window manager needs some time to cope with these
requests.
It's probably a firefox bug, but I'm adding a mutter task too, because
presumably the window manager should be more resilient to faulty
behaviours like that.

Bug description:
1) Ubuntu 19.04
2) 67.0.4+build1-0ubuntu0.19.04.1
3) When holding down F11 in FireFox, it will go into fullscreen mode and it
will not do anything else as the button is held down.
4) All it takes to crash gnome-shell... this is amazing. Just open firefox
and take your finger and hold down F11. LOL, guys... I don't know if this is
actually a problem with Firefox itself or GNOME or whatever, but someone needs
to take notes from Google Chrome. If you need to know what should actually
happen, just try the same thing in Chrome.
How this is still not fixed, I have no idea? Someone please help,
thank you!
