[Bug 1114626] [NEW] Watching a video in Firefox counts as being inactive, so the screen turns off

[David Nemeskey]

Public bug reported:

I was watching the videos here:
http://spoonyexperiment.com/2012/08/11/ultima-9-ascension-finale/ , when
the screen suddenly (albeit gradually) turned off. Apparently the number
of minutes specified in the Brighness and Lock settings panel had
elapsed, so to save power Ubuntu turned off the screen. The problem is:
watching a video IS an activity. I don't know whether it is only
Firefox, or it happens with other browsers as well. Totem is clearly not
affected by this problem.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. Firefox is at version 18.0.1.
