After going to Sleep mode (esp. Hiberenate) a lot of timers don't work anymore.
I.e. bug 179056 (no mail fetching anymore) and some others, also on FF.
There might be two reasons for this. Something wrong in TimerThread since ver
1.16 (implementation of "sleepmode") or wake notification is not correctly fired. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

Still doesn't work and I'm quite shure bug 179056 depends on this bug.

See bug 197863. Maybe Windows has to post "sleep_notification" and
"wake_notification" notifications.

[Moritz Strübe]

Looks like sleep_notification is fired by windows, as else bug 197863 would
still be present, which is not the case. In case windows doesn't send a
wake_notification (I have no Idea whether it does or not) this is something to
workaround (some kind of timer or whatever). Never the less this general bug
still exists. Windows wakes up and the timer isn't fired. For what ever reason.
