I have created a Raspberry Pi media screen within Iceweasel, the version of Firefox for Raspberry Pi. However, after 10 minutes, the screen goes black. I have searched the Raspberry Pi help boards with no success. Now I'm hoping the Firefox community can help.

Chosen solution

I think I finally found a solution. Edit the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart to add these 3 lines: @xset s noblank @xset s off @xset -dpms

It's been on for 17 minutes! New record!
