- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14111094, 7 years agoWorks fine, but could use some of the bells and whistles from Stayfocsd in Chrome. I'd particularly like a Nuclear option.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Matthew Brown, 7 years agoA handsome, spartan alternative to StayFocusd and LeechBlock. It's not as full-featured as either - most notably, there's no Nuclear Option-like functionality or complex week-based schedule blocking. However, since I only use Firefox every now and then for specialized tasks that Chrome can't do, LeechBlock would be massive overkill, and Monastery is perfectly adequate for me.
It is a bit annoying that I can't block Firefox pages, so there's nothing stopping me from disabling Monastery in moments of particular weakness, but that can be fixed with another add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/public-fox/
P.S. - developer is prompt, polite, and responsive.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThat's... very strange. I'm rewriting the whole thing as it is rather messy on the inside, but a common problem that a lot of other people faced is that your Firefox isn't permitting Monastery from using the storage feature. Go to about:config and make sure webextensions.storage.sync.enabled is True. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13551633, 7 years agoThe app seems to be a good one, with the functions I need. But there seems to be a huge bug. I wanted to try it with 15 mins first but after a minute, I lost the access and can't seem to change the permitted time even after 24 hours. I am on the verge of disabling the app, unfortunately...
EDIT: It actually works now - almost. I think the 24 h problem was that I was trying to change the setting right after I first lost access after that one minute, so it was actually probably 24 h from the time I last changed the settings, or something similar. Still, I can't seem to change the amount of time even before I run out of time. Right now, I have 1 minute and something left and I feel I still need more time to read some things on Facebook, so I wanted to make it longer, but even though the settings say "saved", the clock still shows the same amount of time.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis extension works for me for the most part, but I know that it’s got a lot of problems hidden away somewhere. So, my apologies. If I’m understanding correctly, you’re trying to change the time and it still says ‘your time is up for the day,’ correct? Try opening up the browser toolbox and filtering for “background.” Ctrl-Shift-I to open it up, or go under Tools in the menu. There’s a few lines out of a file “background.js” that might give me some information, if you’d be so kind to post it. Hopefully I can get Monastery working for more people. Thanks for giving it a chance.
