When I watch HBO Go (Silverlight 5.1.41212.0 plug-in) on Firefox 46.0.1 in full screen, mouse cursor doesn't disappear and after a few minutes screensaver activates, so I have to move the mouse to continue watching. Solution?

Screensaver should be auto disabled when watching a clip.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
