>From what I understand, gnome-screensaver activates on lack of keyboard, mouse, or other user-input activity. However, it is possible for applications to disable that behaviour if they expect the user to be watching without providing input. (For example, movie players.) I am just not certain why Firefox seems to disable the screensaver when it is displaying a web page that uses the auto-refresh directive.
