This is still happening on y system. Firefox seems to give up after a while. and it doesn't send any inhibitor requests to dbus.
I don't know why firefox gives up, restarting firefox makes it remember it NEEDS to send the inhibit requests to dbus. System: Archlinux XFCE firefox 140.0.2-1 xfwm4 4.20.0-2 xorg-server 21.1.18-2 linux 6.15.5.arch1-1 nvidia-dkms 575.64.03-1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2047262 Title: Firefox stopped inhibiting screensaver on video playback Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Update (02/2024): With Firefox 122 on Ubuntu-Mate 23.10, screensaver/powermanager inhibition is completely broken even with Mozilla's .deb package. After a fresh start of firefox, screen saver is blocked properly when playing video but after opening/un-suspending a few tabs with video, inhibition stops working. I was unable to come up with reproducible scenario but after a few hours of browsing it usually stops working. Restarting firefox fixes the problem. The bug first appeared around August and affects both .deb and snap packages. Tested on Ubuntu-Mate 22.04.3, Xorg, both Pulseaudio and Pipewire (if that's relevant). I don't see any relevant msgs in xsession-errors or system logs.
