- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13982040, 7 years agoWorks great for blocking websites which my brain somehow have commited to muscle memory. I no longer find myself randomly scrolling through social media when working.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13971235, 7 years agoIt does exactly what you need it to, stopping reddit from destroying my life! I do notice it doesn't immediately block the site once the timer finishes, though. I wish it had that.

posted 7 years agoYou need to select the option "Immediately block pages on these sites once blocking conditions are met" under "How to Block". - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13971214, 7 years agothank you very much :,) GOD bless you, this add-on helped me stop my addiction to playing games when i'm stuck at writing or doing my work ... and also to limit the time i watch videos !

- 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 5 out of 5by Darf Bomma, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13761483, 7 years agoThis is great extension with a lot of configuration options and spot-on functionality. It does the job. However, don't expect that it alone will change your life: your core problems with procrastination and concentration lie within yourself and should be resolved from there. Do your homework and read about psychology of the phenomenon. LeechBlock will help a lot in any case though. Good luck!
