Just 5 Minutes Firefox

Just 5 Minutes

By: rhn
You said ‘just 5 minutes.’ Now your scroll wheel agrees. Gives you a short allowance on distracting feeds, then locks scrolling for the rest of the session.

Features & Capabilities

You open Reddit, X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook for “just five minutes”… and somehow two hours disappear. This extension fixes that.It gives you a shared timer across all your tabs on those sites. You get your chosen amount of time (default is 5 minutes). When it runs out, the extension completely blocks the scroll wheel, trackpad gestures, and keyboard scrolling keys (Space, Page Up/Down, arrows, Home, End). You can still click links or close the tab, but the endless mindless scroll is over.Features:Customizable session length from 1 to 60 minutes Works across all open tabs of the sites you pick Choose exactly which sites to track (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, X, YouTube — easy to add more) Whitelist any domains you want to keep normal scrolling on Live timer visible in the popup and settings page Everything stays 100% local in your browser

If you’re tired of losing time to feeds, give it a try. Set the timer, get your five minutes, then get back to your day.

Privacy: No data is collected or sent anywhere. Your settings and session info never leave Firefox.

Is Just 5 Minutes Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Just 5 Minutes requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
