I have verified that these keys trigger DOM key events, so I don't think this is a DOM issue. This seems to be specific to "Manage Extension Shortcuts". The cause is probably in toolkit/modules/ShortcutUtils.sys.mjs

In retrospect a more appropriate component would probably be 'Toolkit::Add-ons Manager'

A short brief summary of the changes part of this bugzilla issue for the dev-docs-needed flag:

starting from Firefox >= 135, users will be allowed to assign to extensions commands keyboard shortcuts using the extended F13-F19 function keys
Using extended F13-F19 function keys as suggested keyboard shortcuts assigned by default through extension manifest is still disallowed (as it was on older Firefox versions)
The manifest validation error logged in Firefox >= 135 will be stating more explicitly that these keys can only be used for user-defined keyboard shortcuts (F13-F19 keys can only be used for user-defined keyboard shortcuts in about:addons "Manage Extension Shortcuts")
The extensions can also try to assign F13-F19 shortcuts through the browser.commands.update API method, which will reject the keys as invalid on older Firefox version but will succeed in Firefox >= 135
