Binary package hint: firefox

As soon as I go to

the screen blanks.

The screen is connected via 15pin dsub VGA cable.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hi Marc

I can't see what you mean.
Firefox is not allowed to put the screen in the
sleep state, it even prohibits me from waking it.
It is a DOS-attack and if I(normal user) am not
able to make the screen wake from its nap then
I am bound to loose data.
I can add my configuration if you need it.
Is Firefox allowed to put the computer to sleep
by default?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
