Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upload some huge file (GBs) to some cloud space.
  2. Left the system on its own, which was configured to suspend after N minutes of idle/no interaction.

Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210810
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0
Kernel Version: 5.13.8-1-default (64-bit)
Addons: Plasma Integration 1.8.0.1

Actual results:

The system went into suspend after N minutes and the upload had been canceled and needed to be restarted.

Expected results:

Firefox should have notified the system that an upload is in progress in order to prevent the system to suspend -- just as it does in case of downloads.

It would be furthermore convenient if add-ons such as the 'Plasma Integration' could access the upload state in order to display meaningful notifications -- just like it already does for downloads.

Marking this enhancement as NEW in order for it to gain more visibility.

I think the right component for this bug would be rather "Downloads API".
