When I check my battery, it says “Librewolf is currently blocking sleep and screen locking (Playing audio)”. This happens even when there is no audio playing. What’s causing this, how do I fix it?
This is a comment I posted on the other community.
Yes, librewolf is running. I intentionally have it open. But there is no audio playing.
When I kill the process, it does not unblock, even though there is no librewolf process left.
When I reboot the computer and restart librewolf, it does not block.
When I play a video in the browser, it blocks again.
When I close that tab, it is still blocked.
When I close the browser, it is still blocked, even though there is no librewolf process left.
(This is the Flatpak version, if that helps)Then it’s probably a bug that should be reported.
Most likely, some web page is playing an ad, a video or some audio stream, but without sound activated.
That, or a bug where the block was not removed after being put in place for some stream.
There are no ads in Librewolf, Ublock Origin is installed by default.
When I tested this, I only loaded one page that could play videos, so nothing is playing in the background.
The same thing happens on Firefox.

Not as simple as that and not 100%. Anyway.
If you go to
about:preferences, search forautoplayand go to Autoplay Settings, can you confirm default isBlock Audio and Videoand no exceptions interfering?If ensuring that doesn’t help, would you be able to share a URL that triggers this behavior?
