*SIGH* False alarmĀ
This is NOT fixed.
Latest update:
Here's what I'm trying now:
Testing this now. Fingers crossed
Note: Still odd to me that this ONLY happens with Firefox, and not VLC. Why can my computer detect that VLC is fullscreen, but not the videos that play via Firefox?

Latest update:
- After starting the computer, it will behave as desired: Staying awake while a video is fullscreen in Firefox. Great!
- Then, when I'm done with the video, I exit and walk away. My computer goes to sleep when it reaches the set timeout. Great!
- But then, the next time I wake my computer and try to watch a fullscreen video, then the issue comes back: The computer goes to sleep even when the video is fullscreen.
Here's what I'm trying now:
- Disable all Firefox add-ons.
- completely uninstall Firefox and all its supporting files. Reinstall.
- Reinstall pm-utils
- Reinstall gnome-power-manager
- Restart
Testing this now. Fingers crossed
