Firefox prevents Mac from automatically sleeping

When Firefox is open, my Mac (2011 MacBook Pro, OS 10.13.6) won't go to sleep automatically (I can put it to sleep manually). It doesn't matter what windows/tabs are open. Just having Google or the default window that opens when FF starts up does it. I think this started with the last FF update but am not sure of that.
