Firefox randomly changes between fullscreen and windowed mode

While I'm using Firefox in a window mode it will randomly change to a full-screen mode ad it will change between these modes constantly. I've tried resetting Firefox but this hasn't fixed the problem. The only way I've managed to stop it from changing constantly is by going into the task manager with ctrl+alt+delete.

Does it do the same thing with other browsers?

I'll start with this. Do you know what your fullscreen button is? You might have changed it to something on your keyboard you press frequently. We'll go from there.
