Can you please test with the official Firefox build downloaded from mozilla.org, which doesn't have Fedora in the UA string?

Also: does Firefox itself generate any crash report? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/mozillacrashreporter

Thankyou for replying.
I tried the official Firefox build and result is the same.

I just found that when I use <Tab> key to change foucus to "password", the input method switch table(which is on the right of the gnome top bar) is disappeared. In this moment, if I'm using the "US keybord" input method,nothing happens, but if I'm using "Intelligent Pinyin"( for Chinese) or "Kana Kanji"(for Japanese), the gnome-shell crashed.

Is this a bug for firefox or ibus?

I visited the "about:config" page, switched the key "intl.ime.use_simple_context_on_password_field" to "true",and then the gnome-shell won't crash.

Seems to be a bug at gnome-shell/Gtk+ and not Firefox itself. Please try to enable Fedora ABRT system crash reporter and file ABRT report at Fedora bugzilla. We can't use mozilla crashreporter for that as it does not crash at Firefox.
