- Rated 3 out of 5by jacinto88, 2 months agoSome suggestions:
Add a break timer option after a tree has grown to allow for a pomodoro style timer
add a give up button at the extension menu instead of at a blocked page
instead of having to press 3 buttons to start a timer again, make it seamless and easy to do (accept the coins, returns to the previews screen, click the tree again is 3 steps too many when you want to start a tree after a previous one finishes)
all of these can be solved by adding a button that says restart on the coin scene, a button that says break, and the break lenght to be customizable on the settings page where 5 minutes is the default, also add the option to either auto restart a tree after a break or to manually restart it - Rated 3 out of 5by Knight, 3 months agoa great app when i want to focus on my tasks. i do wish that it synced with my forest app on my phone since i am missing a few plants that i have earned. it seems that the last plant i have is the anniversary plants, which i know i gained a few more. other than that, a fantastic app.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Eli Hooke, 9 months agoOverall fine as a browser app, but lacking some of the helpful stuff of the phone app. Particularly the ability to cancel w/in the first few seconds the phone app has.
I accidentally started it & had to cancel (killing the tree) & couldn't get rid of the dead tree. Which brought up some wonkiness in the syncing between my phone app & the browser version. Unable to clear accidental start in browser. The dead trees were on my phone version & so I paid in app coins to remove the dead trees in the phone app, but it didn't remove them from the browser only on my phone even after forcing a sync twice. Really a minor issue, but annoying. - Rated 3 out of 5by Ardb, 10 months agoUnable to just copy-paste list of blocked sites from/to other extension. That's why I scored 3.
- Rated 3 out of 5by kz, a year agoit does the job for when you don't have access to your phone, but it lacks very basic features like tagging or canceling your planting session
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16327543, 2 years agoGreat concept, but it's really annoying that the URLs listed in the block list disappear once in a while...
- Rated 3 out of 5by vic5, 4 years agoWhy does the exension needs such a wide range of permissions??? Too invansive for privacy conscious users...
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14098513, 4 years agoIt's a great app and for me blocking websites works flawlessly. However, it doesn't sync properly with the Android app and with this extension I only have 2 trees unlocked, whereas in the app I've unlocked a lot.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14940658, 5 years agoAll good, except the whitelist mode. It does not work in my case. Not sure why.

- Rated 3 out of 5by João D., 5 years agoThe add-on is good, but its only problem is the fact that it doesn't provide coins when countdown finishes. It shows I earned coins, but I don't receive them. It's really dissapointing. :(
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15777402, 5 years agocan't use the Blacklist only..... when I open the website in Blacklists, the tree won't be killed and it is still working..... and also has the Sync problem ...
- Rated 3 out of 5by Locness, 5 years agoI don't know what is wrong with me, but the whitelist alone doesn't seem to have any effect.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14577538, 6 years agoThe sync works well between my phone and firefox add in. But I would like it to remain floating and visible while I am working. I would also like to hear a noise when the timer completes.
- Rated 3 out of 5by simil, 6 years agoBlacklist works but the whitelist is broken. Firefox 60.2.2esr (32-bit), Windows 7
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14340311, 6 years agoDoes a good job sync with the Android App (needs to purchase the app) BUT a sound notification is really missing, so for me it's not of the level of www.pomodo.work...
- Rated 3 out of 5by Delgan, 7 years agoGreat idea but after 10 minutes websites was no longer blocked for no reason...
- 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.
