Looking at a realty website on Internet. My husband(foreign born) doesn't read too fast. Screen goes black and need to press Enter to return to screen numerous times.

Anything I can change do to delay the screen going black, so he doesn't get frustrated trying to read. If so, tell me specifically how to do it.

Operating system

windows XP

Hello Gail.

I believe that "screen going black" is the screensaver (or power options) of your operating system. You'll be better off asking Microsoft for support, but I believe that, if memory serves me right, you can adjust the screensaver settings on your Windows Control Panel. It may be a power saving option, of the monitor simply shutting down, so be aware of that.

In any case, this is not a Firefox support question, since it's a setting of the operating system. Thank you for your understanding.
