Firefox doesn't prevent computer from going to sleep when downloading files unlike other browsers. Can you please tell me how I can resolve this issue?

This extension prevents your computer from going to sleep while Firefox is downloading files.

I already know about this add-on, thanks any way. My question is, why doesn't Firefox have this option built-in to its browser? I don't think Firefox will resolve this issue because I Googled about this issue & found a few posts about people that had this issue in 2006 also. Do you have any idea why Firefox is not adding this feature into its browser?
