    Exactly what I was looking for in a time management addon for Firefox. This is one of the only few that actually blocks sites still after the API switch on the newer versions of Firefox. A huge life saver and a big thanks for the developers for keeping this up to date! However as of right now setting the time limit doesn't make a difference for today (the day of installation) and thus I have 30 seconds. I'll likely have to wait a day to try and get this to work properly. Fingers crossed though.

    This has most of the features I want. There's one feature I would like to suggest, though, that StayFocusd has and this doesn't.

    I would like if I could block these sites on Monday-Friday, but not the weekend. Or be able to block from 8am-6pm, for example. The time controls were really helpful.

    Add-on starts at the time you install it, NOT at 4am like the description reads. So my hour countdown I assigned starts at 3pm, and blocked a site this morning even though it is a "new day." Needs to be synced with computer clock, not install time.

    Also - would be nice to have a list of multiple sites and time limits to add, not just one field of URLs and one total time limit.

    Otherwise, functions as described and is useful.

    Your issue is interesting - Monastery just gets the current time and then sets the time to 23:59:59.999 for when the timer resets, so I suspect that the issue lies in timezones. If you feel like helping me out to fix this: Press ctrl-shift-j and then scroll up until you find a comment along the lines of "Hourglass expires [number]" - tell me what time it is wherever you are and what number it is.
    As for your feature requests - eventually, I hope to implement those as well. It'd certainly be useful for Youtube watching, at least for me.
