- Rated 1 out of 5by AshleyL, pirms mēnešaI'm not quite sure why this is recommended on Firefox for Android when it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's better on desktop. Anyways, i won't ever use this again.
Developer response
posted pirms mēnešaThis is a known issue, and the problem lies with Firefox for Android rather than LeechBlock. See discussion here: https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG/issues/419
The issue should be fixed in a future version of Firefox for Android. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18306399, pirms 5 mēnešiem

- Rated 1 out of 5by CamilliLa, pirms 3 gadiemCan't believe that adding a web site doesn't allow (copy-and-) paste. You have to TYPE the web site?
Developer response
posted pirms 3 gadiemThere is a bug (currently under investigation) that prevents the context menu from appearing in the options page. The workaround for copy-paste is to use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc.) or top menu bar. Developer response

https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/support/- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13953226, pirms 3 gadiemIts not blocking anything no matter my settings. I went to the forums like the dev said but absolutely nothing came out of it. Its been months and this add-on still does nothing at all.

I always thought that Leechblock NG was perfect, but yesterday I found out that I can easily disable it by going through the add-on options. Without typing the random password.
I have tried to follow the instructions on this site https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/
But after hours I didn't solve anything.
I think I'll try "FocusMe" software. - Rated 1 out of 5by MeHumanISwear, pirms 4 gadiemWhen you can't control yourself with social media, to use this app would be helpful, if it wasn't so easy to disable in Firefox's options. You can even unblock the site at will. There is nothing an extension can do with these things, so try out an app. I'm trying FocusMe out, if I find it for free somewhere. It's not a bad extension, it's just too easy to get around it if you have no power over yourself. I hope this gets checked out and helps someone.

posted pirms 4 gadiemUsers can limit their access to the options page, to prevent easy circumvention of blocks. Additional measures for preventing disabling/uninstalling the extension are detailed in the FAQ:
https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/faq/ - Rated 1 out of 5by twonky, pirms 4 gadiemAs soon as I install/enable this extension, Firefox slows down exponentially. If I let it run for more than a minute or two I end up locked out of my desktop environment and I'm forced to hard restart my machine.

Thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by jalkahiki, pirms 4 gadiemI followed the very clear instructions to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and I had set up the add on correctly. Still, it straight up blocked a site, although I had set it up to block me after 30 minutes. It's a very easy to use system, and I am 100% certain that I didn't tell the add on to block me- I set it up to block me after 30 min in a day. I hadn't used the website at all yet today. The grayscale filter also produced an intolerable level of lag that resolved when I removed the add-on. I installed a similar add on that was able to allow me limited access to the target website.

posted pirms 4 gadiemIf you export your settings (Options > General > Export Options to File) and email them to leechblockng@proginosko.com I will work with you to figure out why it isn't blocking as you want. - Rated 1 out of 5by oravavaara, pirms 4 gadiemInstead of limiting the time I could spend on the target website, it entirely blocked it and redirected to the alternate website I had selected. I hadn't used the target website at all today, and it wouldn't allow me to use it for the 30 minutes I had set it up for. If you want to just block a website, this is effective for that, but if you're looking to limit the time you spend on a website, you'll have to find something else.

posted pirms 4 gadiemI'm willing to bet that LB is doing exactly what you told it to do, but you entered the wrong settings. Please consult the examples page for clarification: https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/examples/ - Rated 1 out of 5by bafoe, pirms 5 gadiem
