- Rated 4 out of 5by Addons_Averageenjoyer, 2 years agoIt is great since I can optimize so many things, and is quite simple and straightforward. But there are some settings that I don't fully understand.

- Rated 4 out of 5by 1hforgperd, 4 years agoThis add-on works even while you minimize Firefox or turn off your smartphone monitor. Therefore, the time limit is reached even though you have stopped browsing the site.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Lexica, 4 years agowhat is 'Blue Cube', 'Space Hook', 'Sticky Media', 'Quitter'
ok so I got youtube, twitter and facebook, but what's sticky media? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16206521, 4 years agoEdit: 1. I miss the option for syncing timers between Android and PC 2. Exporting config on Android does nothing.
Great addon with so many options for managing your time! And huge plus for supporting new Firefox for Android! - Rated 4 out of 5by Romlig, 4 years agoGreat addon. However there is an issue on Firefox for Android with the time limit: the countdown keeps ticking when I switch to another app. (when the countdown reaches 0:00 the current page stays unlocked => my bad, it's a setting)

posted 4 years agoThanks for the review. The Firefox for Android issue is a known issue; I'm working on a fix. Not sure about the second issue. Make sure you have the setting "Immediately block pages" selected. - Rated 4 out of 5by P., 4 years agoIt's only missing a countdown timer for me to make it 5 starts. I got it activated in the settings, but I only see the time at which the lockdown will ends ...

posted 4 years agoNot sure what the issue is here, but if you post to the support forum, I will try to help you figure this out. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ajith Nair, 4 years agoAn excellent replacement for StayFocusd (which is available only for Chromium). I would have rated it 5 stars, but I gave just 4 because it's missing one feature I want: remove the count-down timer from the add-on icon, and display it only on the page.

posted 4 years agoThanks for the review. The feature you describe is already present. Go to Options > General and uncheck "Show timer as icon badge". - Rated 4 out of 5by Aarne210, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15372875, 4 years ago5 stars if I could figure out a way to block an index site (home page) and have sub-domains not be blocked by default (manual exclusions aren't suitable if you'll want to access pages via a Google search, for example). Other than that works great.

reddit.com
+reddit.com/*+
See FAQ for details of exceptions and wildcards. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13340515, 4 years ago

posted 4 years agoDid you select the option "Allow temporary override for these sites" for the relevant block sites?- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15549841, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by KARTHIK YELCHURU, 4 years agoSolves the the distraction problem I persistently face. Auto save addition would be good.

posted 4 years agoThanks for the review. I'd like to hear more about what you mean by "auto save". Perhaps post something to the suggestions forum? https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/leechblock/leechblock-forums-f1/ - Rated 4 out of 5by breathingtree, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Tracey, 5 years agoAllows much more customizability than other timer apps I've found. That means I can keep my schedule in the Goldilocks zone of productivity and enjoyment. Thus I don't need to keep using willpower to reset it every time I want to avoid certain sites, and don't risk "forgetting" to use it.
However, the UI could be more intuitive - I often accidentally set it to do things I don't want. The override also doesn't work for me even though it displays a messages saying it has. This is a problem when I need to use certain sites. It happens whether I activate override before or after I run out of time. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15665131, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15202892, 5 years agoThe only cross-browser plugin for strategic site-blocking! I really love what the developer has done here and IMO less buggy than Stayfocusd. About the only thing it is missing is settings sync across browsers.
