About this extension
Minimalist Browser Lock lets you instantly lock/unlock all web page interactions with a single click. Perfect for reading without distractions, avoiding accidental inputs during sensitive work (productivity, financial, development, etc.), or simply stepping away from your desk.

WHAT GETS LOCKED:
- Keyboard typing and text input
- Mouse clicks and button presses
- Form submissions
- Touch interactions
- Right-click menus
- Scrolling remains enabled for easy reading

WHAT STAYS ACCESSIBLE:
Firefox doesn't allow extensions to block core browser functions, so these remain available:
- Address bar and URL navigation
- Bookmarks and bookmark clicks
- Browser menus and settings
- Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+L, Ctrl+T, etc.)

No passwords or configuration needed. Works across all open tabs simultaneously.

Zero data collection. No tracking or external connections. Lightweight and efficient code.
