Hello,
Firefox currently does not prevent macOS from going to sleep when a download is active.
How do I know this? 1) I downloaded a file from the internet. 1.5 GB in size. 2) I opened a Terminal window in macOS, and ran `pmset -g`. 3) I searched for "sleep" in the "Currently in use:" list, and checked if Firefox was listed. It was not.
Is there a setting that I can enable that I can download to make this happen?
I think extensions don't have the capability to prevent macOS from going to sleep. Correct me if I'm wrong.
A quick fix for now would be the `caffeinate`-command in the Terminal-app, but I think this is very resource-wasteful.
Thank you in advance! Kind regards.
