So I'm looking for a script that disables all power settings when Firefox is playing a full screen video, but then re-enables them when the video closes.
Does anyone have that script?

I've tried disabling the screensaver in power settings (not via script). But I have to keep some power settings so that my machine goes to sleep when not in use and the TV turns off.
So whatever my power settings are, they will kick in. If I disable screensaver but I have a 30 min sleep timer, the comp will go to sleep, even if I'm watching a movie in Firefox.
Typically, turning off my TV looks like this:
- I close a tab that's playing a movie.
- Firefox reverts to my home tab, showing all my streaming sites.
- I get up and walk away
- My computer goes to sleep
- My TV, not getting any input from the computer, turns off.
If I go the script route, it might screw up that sequence, right?
Yeah WTF is this art, this is NOT the way to do it.
Like, even if you don't care about antisemitism and genocide...
The Nazis were not great about privacy
Fun fact about the original Sim City: the lead developer said that they wanted to model real cities in the game, but "we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots."
Thank you for this clear, helpful answer
But... Why? Why would they get different restrictions on the basis of operating system?
Sounds like that's in here:
"The test build shows the horizontal tab bar and the sidebar at the same time by default. A click on the new "hide tab strip" button hides the horizontal tab bar so that only the vertical sidebar remains."
Agreed. There's a slight relief here, though: I believe this is the Times Square shuttle train, which only runs back and forth over a few stations and never goes outside. So at least you're not on this train for long and never missing a view
Folks are asking "Why post this here?" I get the question but I think I also get the OP, as a New Yorker who was surprised to see this ad IRL.
Most of our subway ads are for VC-funded Internet darlings (think: mattresses-by-mail, kitschy underwear, online therapy) or for some aspiring blockbuster movie from an Internet giant.
Until I saw this ad, I had never in my life seen a subway ad for a company I actually used, let alone respected.
Seeing this ad in the wild broke my brain. I have advocated for online privacy for over a decade. I have spent so much energy pushing people to use Signal. But I had never before imagined that "online privacy" was a concept that could find an audience in mass marketing.
I don't know if Mullvad will take off. But I know that seeing these ads moved me. I felt like maybe, MAYBE, our movement is breaking through.
Cool article but Wired already published this 2 years ago. Wonder why they're repubbing?

UPDATE: Switching to Firefox ESR seems to have solved this issue!
