three days ago i downloaded the latest update for firefox and since that time my computer will not enter standby mode nor will my monitor shutdown while inactive for the allotted time. this is on a windows xp machine. and is very bad for trying to conserve energy.

Reproducible: Always

when firefox is running, the power management options in xp stop working

Please reopen if you can reproduce this issue with the latest Firefox while in safe mode.  Also, please provide more information as to what Firfox was doing at the time that windows was supposed to go into standby mode.
