interestingly, the same test works fine using chrome.
after some research, this may also be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035942 I also have the extension "WindowOverlay Icons enabled. when disabling it, gnome does not crash every time, but it still crashes.
+1 having the same issue and firefox and chrome both crash. Its not consistent but seems to happen more often if I go full screen and then alt-tab.
Does the Firefox crash? Or just gnome-shell?

Please test latest Firefox-27 packages for Fedora, we have had a problem with system-cairo.
I'm seeing this with chrome and chromium as well. Do they also use Cairo?
same results with firefox 27
I idea what chrome/chromium run...moving to gnome-shell.
I'll tentatively close this as duplicate of bug 1057933 - can you please update gnome-shell and reopen if you reproduce with gnome-shell-3.10.3-3 or later? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1057933 ***
