secondary display switches off (Spotify)

After update to Firefox 70.0.1 my secondary display goes dark from time to time (it is like if it signal was lost and therefore it enters power saving mode). This happened mostly when I opened Spotify to play something. When I close Firefox, secondary display wakes up again and works as usual. I'm not really sure where to search for error logs as this may be related to graphics acceleration or media play? What other information you think would help to shed some light on the issue?

Thank you, sax

Nevím do jaké míry může Firefox samotný ovlivnit zobrazení na druhém monitoru. To je snad záležitost systému a grafické karty. A pokud se to stává jenom "občas", tak tím spíše to není chyba ve Firefoxu. Software zná jen stavy "funguje nebo nefunguje".

Pokud jde o přehrávání videí a hudby, může mít vliv nastavení v about:preferences - Výkon - HW akcelerace (změnit současné nastavení).

> poljos Proto jsem právě psal, že moc nevím, jak toto ladit. Vazba na Firefox je tam ale jasná - displej se vypne při kliku na tlačítko play ve Spotify. Při vypnutí Firefoxu se pak displej opět zapne.

Když otevřu YouTube, tak se monitor také vypne (aniž bych na cokoli kliknul), ale po chvilce se displej opět zapne.

Dříve jsem nic takového nezaznamenal, takže to bude změnami, které přinesla verze 70.0.1. HW akcelerací to nebude, chování přetrvává i když v nastavení HW akceleraci vypnu.
