User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Firefox on Xfce desktop environment on Fedora 34
- Play a video on Youtube
Actual results:
- The screen with eventually blank and lock
Expected results:
- The screen should not blank when a video is playing
There is an open Xfce bug report at https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/-/issues/42
From this bug report, Chromium has the expected behaviour as it is using a different Dbus interface to inhibit the screensaver. There is also a discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1168090
A potential fix would be to use the org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Inhibit Dbus interface when inhibiting the screensaver as Chromium does in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/a8498df479418cae7b379aca518d04d0648f3a68/device/power_save_blocker/power_save_blocker_x11.cc

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

The problem still exist
FF v102.0.1
EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) only in xfce4
To fully function on xfce4 you also need this change to xfce4-power-manager to have it inhibit DPMS which has not been released yet: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/-/merge_requests/22
