Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off

I would like a way to keep my screen from going to sleep while browsing. Sometimes I am still reading the current screen when it dims out. The browser I am hoping to replace with Firefox has this option. Is there a way (option or addon) to do this?

Not possible from within Firefox. You can check to see if your device has a 'Never' option for screen timeout under 'Display' settings in Android settings. I suspect not available though as that would be a hindrance towards battery lifetime.

No, best option on phone settings is 10 minutes. I'll try that, and setting 'Never sleep while charging', and hope that's enough. Thanks anyway.
