- Rated 4 out of 5by danielbr93, 16 days agoThe habit of opening a tab with CTRL + T, typing in "twitter" and pressing enter is still a thing, but with this extension, I might get rid of it.
Even after just a week, I notice how many more hours I save with it.
Not every hour turns into a productive one, but it's definitely better than endlessly scrolling social media or watching the 14th YouTube video for the day.
Some critcism and feedback:
1. The UI for the options is okay.
1.1 A more modern UI would be neat
1.2 Minimalistic/advanced view - making it easier and less overwhelming for people to get started
1.3 More "?" that when hovered over show explanations.
2. Pre-made examples for time and amount of hours for a certain period
2.1 Provide a short quiz "How often do you think do you waste time?" or "How much time do you want to save?" and depending on the 3-5 potential answers, the extensions sets up the most common settings.
3. Automatically suggest the most common websites to block. - Rated 4 out of 5by TreBrock, 2 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Lief, 5 months agoVery good, very helpful. But as some other users mentioned; not the most user friendly
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17983354, 5 months agoIt's very good, but its not very user friendly. However the leech block forums are very helpful to figure out how to find your solution.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Borobreath, a year agoSuggestion: consider adding a way to block troubleshoot mode in firefox as that allows you to reenter it without addons
- Rated 4 out of 5by Addons_Averageenjoyer, a year 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, 2 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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 3 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., 3 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 3 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, 3 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 3 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, 3 years ago
