MODELB5SJ. IF I KEEP MOVING THE MOUSE IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IF I IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE MOUSE WHEN I GO BACK TO THE LOG IN SCREEN I CAN RETURN WITHOUT HAVING TO LOG IN. IF I WAIT MORE THAN 4 SECONDS I HAVE TO LOG IN AGAIN. UPGRADED TO LATEST F/F YESTERDAY

Chosen solution

You may have inadvertently changed your screensaver timeout, which is a Windows issue rather than a Firefox issue.

Right-click on your desktop in Windows, then select Personalize...

On the bottom right of that screen you will see a link for Screen Saver, click that. There you can set your options for your screensaver.

Also, when posting, you'll want to use normal type rather than ALL CAPS, because all caps is considered shouting.

If this resolves your issue, please mark it as "Solved". If not, please post back again.
