Currently running Nobara 41, and if Firefox is playing a video, or even just has a paused video on it, my computer will not go to sleep until I exit Firefox entirely. If I try to shut down instead, it will seemingly close all open apps, and the displays will go black but the mouse cursor remains on screen and does not respond.

If I start Firefox from the CLI, it shows nothing when I try to suspend.

This only happens with Firefox, and as far as I can tell, doesn’t happen when playing a video elsewhere.

I don’t have any power savings settings that I’m aware of that should be preventing anything, so I don’t know what’s going on. This is a recent issue, starting maybe 2 weeks ago. I haven’t installed any new software besides updates in that time.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?

    what happens exactly when you try to sleep it?

    what does systemd-inhibit --list say when you can’t sleep it?

    also, recently I learned that the system can’t sleep if a FUSE file system (like NTFS on linux) has file activity right when going down (e.g. a large file was being copied or written).
    how did you install firefox, to where (which filesystem), and what ff version?
