- Rated 3 out of 5by Sagnik Ghorai, 2 days agoOverall great extension, but please fix the latest sync issues not allowing us to sync our progress to the app. This is super frustrating and doesn't allow me to see my garden as a reward for my progress.
- Rated 3 out of 5by jacinto88, a year 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, a year 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, 2 years 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, 2 years 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, 2 years 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, 3 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, 5 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, 5 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, 6 years agoAll good, except the whitelist mode. It does not work in my case. Not sure why.

- Rated 3 out of 5by João D., 6 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, 6 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, 6 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, 7 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, 7 years agoBlacklist works but the whitelist is broken. Firefox 60.2.2esr (32-bit), Windows 7
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14340311, 8 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, 8 years agoGreat idea but after 10 minutes websites was no longer blocked for no reason...
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13423194, 9 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.
