- 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 3 out of 5by Raphaell, 7 years ago"This is a fantastic tool!

posted 7 years agoIn LeechBlock NG, the countdown timer is now shown in the corner of the web page itself. You can change the location in the general options.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13242872, 7 years agoGreat add on! Very useful to stay focussed on your work.
Happy it is back in the lasest Firefox version. I was wondering if it is suppossed to work in Firefox for Android as well? I tried to install the add on, and although the add on is running, the indicated websites are not blocked. Would be great to have it on Android as well :)!
Thanks!
UPDATE: Amazing, indeed it works in Android too. Love it! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13495696, 7 years ago
- 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 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13492310, 7 years ago
- 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. :(

- Rated 5 out of 5by Naresh, 7 years agoThis extension is a complete lifesaver! Thanks a lot for all the effort you have put into this.
However, I have temporarily reduced a star in the rating because I noticed that your latest update requires permission to 'Download files and read & modify my download history' and I wasn't completely sure why that was needed. Can you please shed some light on this?
EDIT: Thanks a lot for the quick reply! That commit explains the changed permissions.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHappy to explain. Access to the download manager was needed for the export options function (implemented in v0.4). Given the constraints of WebExtensions, the easiest way to deliver a file to the user is via downloads. You can confirm from the source code (available on GitHub) that this is the only use of the download manager. - Rated 1 out of 5by stefanf, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by ikiam, 7 years agoThank you, One of my prefer addons, BUT please the feature putting a difficult challenge to enter to the options is important, otherwise it is difficult not to fall into the temptation (SOLVED)
