- Rated 1 out of 5by MeHumanISwear, 5 years agoWhen you can't control yourself with social media, to use this app would be helpful, if it wasn't so easy to disable in Firefox's options. You can even unblock the site at will. There is nothing an extension can do with these things, so try out an app. I'm trying FocusMe out, if I find it for free somewhere. It's not a bad extension, it's just too easy to get around it if you have no power over yourself. I hope this gets checked out and helps someone.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Chris, 5 years agoWorks Great for me. I especially love the "Delay Access" option as it stops you from impulsively opening certain Websites.

- Rated 1 out of 5by twonky, 5 years agoAs soon as I install/enable this extension, Firefox slows down exponentially. If I let it run for more than a minute or two I end up locked out of my desktop environment and I'm forced to hard restart my machine.
Tested on Firefox 73.0.1, Kubuntu 18.04, KDE/Plasma 5.12.9Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by EAndersen, 5 years agoIf you're anything like me this extension will make you really aware of just how addicted to social media you are. Highly recommended productivity extension!

- Rated 5 out of 5by MSZ, 5 years agoAfter I switched from Chrome to Firefox, the first thing I was looking for was an alternative to StayFocused add-on, and a little Googling led me to this incredibly useful add-on for Firefox. What follows is my first impression, not a fuller review:
1. It is relatively easy to access the settings here. It should not be because when I am addicted to a site, I would just simply change the setting after my allocated time expires. Thus, the very purpose of using the add-on becomes pointless. It should be much more challenging to change the settings so that we are "forced" to maintain a strict schedule. I would request the developer to put this on their priority list. - Rated 5 out of 5by Saltbot, 5 years agoGood stuff with a lot of settings but I'd like some features like a timer on the blocked pages for the blocking period, and the ability to view current blocks on the tray icon

- Rated 1 out of 5by jalkahiki, 5 years agoI followed the very clear instructions to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and I had set up the add on correctly. Still, it straight up blocked a site, although I had set it up to block me after 30 minutes. It's a very easy to use system, and I am 100% certain that I didn't tell the add on to block me- I set it up to block me after 30 min in a day. I hadn't used the website at all yet today. The grayscale filter also produced an intolerable level of lag that resolved when I removed the add-on. I installed a similar add on that was able to allow me limited access to the target website.
