- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13918490, 7 years agoIt's very helpful.
I use the Whitelist option as I only want access to a couple sites while I need to study so I don't get distracted.
Noticed that I have to first activate the forest session and then navigate to websites I want to block otherwise nothing is blocked.
I also installed forest on my cellphone the only thing is, is that I can hit the home button and it doesn't prevent me from doing so. If I hit the back button to exit the app then it warns me that I'll lose my tree. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13516075, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Zarif, 7 years agoI love the feature that it does not allow me to be distracted rather makes a pop up with a button to "give up".
I love it - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13722883, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by 锤子, 7 years ago我理解中的黑名单应该是“你如果试图造访这些网站你的树就得死!”,然后试过多次后发现实际上除了白名单和附加组件、设置之类的网页以外的所有网页都一视同仁,除非主动放弃,树就不会死,哪怕是黑名单的网页。

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13423194, 7 years agoWorks wonderful! Black list and white list for URLs can be used in a focussing period.
The add-on can distort the statistics of the focussing time. It doesn't check, if there was a cycle going on on the mobile when you finish in firefox.
So if you want to plant a tree between 1pm and 2pm, start the growing on phone and firefox at the same time you will get 2 trees and 2 hours of focussing which is kind of not whats really happens.
It would be awesome if sync would work down to a level, where I can start a cycle on my phone and the extension in firefox knows whats up and shows me the time and blocks what I want to be blocked. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13420641, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13322160, 7 years agoStopped blocking a few minutes after planting the tree. Platform: Firefox developer edition 57.0b11. Linux 4.12.13-1-ARCH.
Adding regex matching for URL will be helpful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ian Gormlie, 7 years agoThis is a great idea. I get so easily distracted that I closed my Facebook account to be more productive, yet I still get distracted. This should really help.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13269516, 7 years agoAfter some updates, the addon works like a charm. You now have the option to choose between a white- or blacklist, whichever suits you more. During that time, you are forced to stay on specified sites or your tree will die.
Thanks to the devs for this awesome addon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jak, 7 years agoI was pretty skeptical about the app at first, but this has really improved my focusing. I have ADHD so I am constantly doing things I shouldn't and this extension reminds me that I have a job to finish.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13296278, 7 years agoThank you for making this app. And thank you for also making it freely available :-D It would be great if the timers on my phone and computer would be synced.
