Adobe Flash doesn't currently inhibit the screensaver when playing a video: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-997?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel).

There's no sign of activity in that bug report, and users are currently working around the bug on their own: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1090393

This branch includes a simple "flashsaver" which inhibits the screensaver when a Flash window is open. I think this is a better workaround, because it provides more granularity with less user involvement.

If you're interested in the principle, I'd be happy to look into further refinements. For example, the flashsaver could be toggled with a preference setting, or it could only inhibit the screensaver when there's a Flash application in the active window, or when a Flash application was the last thing the user clicked on.

Now works when installed in /usr/share/ubufox instead of the user's profile directory

Fixed a bug in the no-screensaver case

Following discussion in #ubuntu-mozillateam, an improved fix has been proposed to nspluginwrapper:

https://code.launchpad.net/~andrew-bugs-launchpad-net/nspluginwrapper/flashsaver/+merge/7406

The alternate fix more closely resembles Flash's behaviour in Windows, and is likely to cause fewer bugs. Please reject this merge request if/when that merge is completed successfully.

166. By Andrew Sayers <email address hidden>

Improved FlashSaver

FlashSaver will now disable the screensaver when at least one Flash object
exists in at least one window.

165. By Andrew Sayers <email address hidden>

Added FlashSaver (initial implementation)

This will disable the screensaver if/when Firefox loads the Flash plugin.

The screensaver is disabled even if no Flash applications are currently running.
