Firefox turning off display while watching Netflix in fullscreen

While watching Netflix in fullscreen the display will automatically turn off, as if due to inactivity. This was never a problem while using Chrome. I'm using Windows 7 and do have an adblock plugin running in the background. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.

I realise that I could turn this off completely in Windows, but I'd rather switch back to Chrome given the choice between the two.

I did a lot of googling and no one else seems to have had this problem before, so your help would be appreciated!
