[QUOTE="babyt, post: 998408, member: 115571"] hey i had the same problem after i updated to the newest version firefox on my sony vaio. the screen would go black, after using it a few minutes in firefox i would put the computer in hibernate or sleep [always get confused on which is mac/pc] and then popped it back on and the screen would be fine for a little while, then go black happened for about 2 hours when i finally realized it might be the firefox. [was freaking cause i thought it might have been a logic board or something important problem] so i unistalled it and havent had a problem with my screen shutting off since [except im stuck using IE] my suggestion would be to uninstall firefox completely and see if it continue's to happen :) if not, its a firefox issue, if it does continue i would contact apple asap!
