User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009120123 Camino/2.0.1 (MultiLang) (like Firefox/3.0.16) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009120123 Camino/2.0.1 (MultiLang) (like Firefox/3.0.16) Firefox has a well-known (and well-neglected) bug wherein it prevents a Mac from going to sleep. (See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428565) By default, if you walk away from a Mac, it will eventually enter a low-power sleep state. If you have Firefox running, it does not go to sleep. Apparently, Camino has this same bug. Reproducible: Always

That likely makes this a Core bug and should be duped to bug 428565. If we do that, we should move bug 428565 somewhere more appropriate than the Firefox product.

Just to be sure this is the same bug, if you turn off phishing protection (and possibly also remove the urlclassifier.sqlite file from the profile), does having Camino running stop preventing sleep?

I'm in the process of investigating this on another machine, but for now, it looks like having Camino open *delays* (rather than totally prevents) automatic sleep by about six or seven minutes. Methodology: starting a stopwatch when my hand leaves the mouse, and stopping it when the pulsating sleep light illuminates (shortly after hearing the HD park the heads). I'd say it's probably safe to dupe this to the Firefox bug and move that bug to Core.

In my case, it prevents it entirely. Walk away and come back hours later, and the machine is still on. Close Camino, and it goes off after 10 minutes.

It's probably worth tracking this ourselves and setting deps on the relevant bugs (Places is similarly ill-behaved, and 2.1 ships Places).

Why did I just get an email stating that this has been resolves and WORKSFORME? This bug is not fixed!

(In reply to Timothy Miller from comment #6) > Why did I just get an email stating that this has been resolves and > WORKSFORME? This bug is not fixed! must have been about some other bug - because this one never closed! Timothy, Do you still see this problem?

Whether or not url-classifier was ever fixed like Places allegedly eventually was, neither it nor Places are fixed in a version of Gecko that supports Camino. (FWIW, on 10.6+, you can use pmset[1] to accurately finger apps that prevent machine sleep, but there hasn't been any doubt here in several years that various Gecko components make Camino one of those apps…) [1] http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20120701234338952
