And another #Linux #linuxmint issue: When I watch a video in the browser, e.g. YouTube or Plex, the screen dims after 90s (as supposed to when not watching a video) and it even locks after 5 minutes.

And another #Linux #linuxmint issue: When I watch a video in the browser, e.g. YouTube or Plex, the screen dims after 90s (as supposed to when not watching a video) and it even locks after 5 minutes. Doesn't Linux suspend power saving and screen locking when watching videos...? Browser is Firefox...

@root42 nothing same in other browsers?

Firefox issue, I believe. It doesn't disable screensaver on my Debian either.

@root42 I don't have this issue on Ubuntu or Asahi Fedora. Maybe it only does it if you fullscreen?

[root42@chaos.social]

@pyksy It is a Firefox issue. Chromium doesn't do it...

@root42 Sounds like a bug in FF, it should inhibit screensaver as does anything that plays video the way the user is expected to watch it and not wiggle the mouse around.
