firefox should disable screen switching off when playing video

[Paolo Benvenuto]

Binary package hint: firefox

I was playing http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2010/debconf10/high/1124_1124_Bits_from_the_DPL.ogv with firefox, expecting that the screen mantained working all the time, but unfortunatly the screen switched off, according to gnome preferences.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Was this a full screen video or just a video playing?

[Paolo Benvenuto (donpaolo)]

it wasn't a full screen playing
