Mind The Time is a free Firefox add-on that helps to track time spent on webpages. So, when you want to check how much time you actually spend when using Facebook or doing some research, this add-on is good to use. Its badge icon shows total time (in hours and minutes) you have spent so far on the active webpage. Moreover, you can also click the badge icon to see the total time you have spent on the web when using Firefox.
The add-on intelligently monitors the time for a webpage. I said so because it won’t track the time if the webpage is inactive or the Firefox window is in the background. However, you can set the option to track the time even if there is no activity. This is helpful in case you are watching a video online and there is no mouse movement.
Another interesting feature that catches the attention is you can set the reminder message (shows time you have spent on the active page) to appear on the webpage. You can set the custom time for reminder. Apart from this, the add-on also provides summary page using which you can check the time spent on different websites today, past 7 days, etc. So, it has everything that is necessary to track time on webpages.
Above you can see the summary page details generated by this add-on.
