Firefox screensaver disable while video is playing

Hello archers,

what i really dislike about the firefox, is that it doesn't disable the screensaver while a video is playing, like for example Chromium.

Is there a way to fix this?

I know your problem, because I've the same one. I didn't found a "solution" for this problem, but you can use the program caffeine-ng as a workaround. It disables the screensaver, when it detects a fullscreen-application (like Firefox with videos or games...).
