## Description

Timebox Timer is a minimalist Firefox extension that provides a visible and movable timer overlay directly on your open web pages. This lightweight tool is ideal for keeping agile meetings like Scrum or Kanban sessions on track by displaying a countdown timer over your current browsing window. It embeds HTML and JavaScript only on tabs with active web pages, ensuring functionality during your workflow without interfering on empty or special tabs.

With permissions limited to active tab access and local storage, Timebox Timer remembers your previous timer settings for convenience. The intuitive interface allows easy repositioning to any area on the page. Its development is open-source, with bug reports and contributions welcomed via GitHub. The add-on’s icons are implemented using Bootstrap icons under MIT License, ensuring a clean and professional user experience.
