- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13969093, 7 years agoIt blocks the sites I want blocked, but when I try to enable the override feature, it keeps telling me "Override unavailable. No override period has been set in the options." even though I've played with the options several times to figure out what to set correctly. Is there even a place to set an override period?
Other than that everything's awesome.
Have a great day!Developer response
posted 7 years agoGo to the General tab in Options. The settings are in the Temporary Override section. Note that you also have to select "Allow temporary override" for specific block sets. - Rated 4 out of 5by Prashant Sachdeva, 7 years agoVery useful extension. Glad to have it working on Firefox Quantum.
I do have a small complaint: the settings do not seem to sync across devices. Is this true for everyone, or is there some problem in my setup?
Edit: Thanks for the reply, James. I look forward to the sync feature. And thanks for the work! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12830789, 7 years agoThanks for developing this for Android!!
Also, i have a problem, there is no way to add entry with contextual menu like PC version, will you add this in the future? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13747774, 7 years agoIt is a very good add on that gives your self-control a bit of help. Obviously it's no match for a determined frickarounder, but does objectively help quite a bit.
-1 star because they took away the quick add to block set option. If I want to ADD a site to options, I have to go into options now. Also, it would be nice if it required a restart to disable this add on. As it is, it does not.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can still add the current site to a block set. Either right-click on the toolbar button or on the web page. As for preventing disable, see this FAQ entry: http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/hide-addon/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13882426, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13797655, 7 years agoWould be great with a time zone that matches my own! When I get the "page blocked" message, it seems set to British standard time while mine would be Central European time (British + 1 hour).

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13608072, 7 years agoSimple and very effective, this extension is perfect for a better concentration at work or at home !
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13576026, 7 years agoReally great addon but is there any way to hide the addon from the addon list like it used to be?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13560640, 7 years agoIn the previous version, I liked it that when using the delaying page, whenever the page went out of focus the countdown was canceled and had to be restarted. Is there a way to make the NG version work this way again?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Gió Scarberg, 7 years agoSimply one of best add-ons on firefox and a safe-time companion for an university student like me!!
Only one peak keeps me from 5 stars... Android compability!!! It still suffers from Android integration, I hope this will be fixed soon. NOTHING IS MORE TIME-WASTING THAN A G**DAMN SMARTPHONE!!! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12497155, 7 years agoAwesome add on and awesome dev!
Would love a feature to temporarily disable the app (for example; right click, deactivate for x minutes) since the sites I block are occasionally needed for work, and going into the add on menu is a bit tiresome.
Thanks a lot and keep up the great work! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13489341, 7 years agoCan't I register a local page to "the page to show instead of these blocked sites"?
I entered the path of the page but it didn't work...
I entered like this "file:///G:/path/file.html" but nothing happened.
I understand! Thank you for your kindness!!Developer response
posted 7 years agoI did some research and it looks like Firefox 57 won't allow extensions to open local files. :(

The lack of it really limits the functionality of the add-on. Nevertheless, this is the best program of its kind that I've ever found.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Philipp, 8 years agoWorks well. A bit of UI work in the settings to make it less confusing to use would be nice -- but that doesn't make this addon less useful.
