Bug - Firefox stops computer from hibernating.

Windows 10 Home Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508) Alienware 15R4 Firefox 81.0.1 64-bit


I used to be able to leave Firefox on without it affecting whether or not the computer's hibernation setting works, but now Firefox is keeping the computer awake. There isn't a video or song playing on Firefox so i don't know why it would keep the computer awake.

Here's a list of the enabled add-ons, if that makes a difference, they never affected things before, so I don't know...

Adblock Plus Ant Video downloader AVG AntiTrack Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader

There's many more add-ons, but they're disabled.

I disabled all the add-ons, but it still didn't hibernate.
