The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The org.freedesktop.PowerManagement is used for the non-gnome environment - like xfce. I think we can add it to the flatpak even it's considered obsolete now: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/power-management-spec/

I've since talked to people in the flatpak matrix room and they said it would be better for Firefox to use org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit. I don't know how viable this is at the moment for Firefox and various desktop environments. I myself would prefer org.freedesktop.PowerManagement added in the short term because it obviously fixes my issue with the flatpak version. But long term it would be better for Firefox to use the portal.

Some links about it:

Portal Documentation - org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit
xdg-desktop-portal - GitHub
