Why doesn't streaming (Streema) automatically resume after sleep?
Streaming used to resume after hibernation, but not with Firefox 57 (Windows 8). The stream (Streema) is playing but there is no sound until I refresh the page.

That could be a website issue. Some will resume from where a download left off. Others do not.
As I was saying it worked well with previous Firefox versions. So it's not a website issue. Something must have changed with Mozilla, and I'd like to understand what it is before reverting to a former version.
I called for more help.
Perhaps you can think of using a download manager. One may have an option to keep the computer from going to sleep during downloads.
There used to be an add-on that did this, but it's not compatible with the current FireFox.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.
I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear. I'm not downloading anything. I merely listen to streamline music (via Streema). At night I set my laptop to hibernate. In the morning I turned it on. Before I upgraded Firefox the music would start again right away. But with this newer Firefox version 57.0 I have to manually refresh the page — I can tell the stream is playing, but I can't hear it until I refresh it.
It's rather simple, really. I'm not sure why I need an add-on or a download manager for that.

The latest Firefox version is 58.0.2 - maybe if you'd update ..... ?

I just did that, and it doesn't help. There must be some settings to adjust.

You 'just' did that - as in 'just now' , or yesterday, before hibernation ?
As in 10 minutes ago, after reading your response. I am now running the latest, 58.0.2 Firefox "Quantum" version.
I should add that the site streema.com comes with a "connection is not secure" logo. Could this be a problem? It's a popular streaming site though.

In 3-bar menu => Options => Add-ons => Plugins :
Is 'Shockwave Flash' set to 'Ask to Activate' ?
If that's not it, and updating Firefox didn't work either, maybe you could contact Streema :

No, that means that logins, entered on that site, could be compromised.
But if you only just now updated Firefox to the latest version, maybe
you should wait and see what happens tomorrow morning, after
hibernation ...... ?

Of course I did go into hibernation to test the new version.

It was set to Always activate, but setting it to Ask to Activate didn't help (Yes, I did hibernate to test).

This was working before. Streema hasn't changed anything. The change comes from Mozilla Firefox
