Hi!
Pretty much what the title says, the screen goes blank while watching videos/streams on firefox. Mpv and chromium work fine and prevent the screen from closing. How should I troubleshoot the issue? I'm currently using firefox 127.0.1 with artix-runit and tried many different DEs like gnome kde etc.
Thanks in advance.
I've researched this issue in the past, pretty sure it's an upstream issue with Firefox.
xfce has a feature called "inhibit screensaver for full screen applications". I for one I disabled all that and made a keybinding "xfce4-screensaver-command -a". When I need the screen to go off I hit that key.
caffeine-ng has always been my go to app to prevent blanking, in AUR
Just made an archlinux vm to try firefox and it works fine. Does arch use something else that prevents the screen from going blank?
128.0 worked perfectly well for me.
Okay, after many hours I figured out there is something wrong with lutris or its dependencies. I'm using dwm and firefox for some reason doesn't prevent the screen from blanking after installing lutris with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. This looks very weird to me, maybe it has something to do with gnome-desktop being installed? Idk, if someone else has any clues let me know, I will mark the thread as solved soon.
Thanks.
