Steps to reproduce:

close all tabs
exit Firefox (ie, swipe up in task view)
open Firefox
enter the url of a blocked site

Expected behavior:

I see a delaying page

Actual behavior:

The page loads
00:00 is displayed as the timer
As long as I don't navigate away from this first page, the delaying page never shows

Leechblock Version: 1.6.4.1 Firefox for Android version: 126.0 (Build #2016019903), hg-3db775a2083d+ GV: 126.0-20240509170740 AS: 126.0 Settings: leechblock settings hard mode.txt

Thanks for the report. A few follow-up questions:

Does the blocking fail with sites in Block Set 1?
Does the blocking fail if you change to the default blocking page?
Did the problem occur prior to version 1.6.4.1?

CosineP commented 3 months ago

Yes, all block sets
Yes, still fails
I don't know, and I don't know how to downgrade an extension on Android (I can download an old XPI, but can't install it).

Sorry for the delay in replying.

What happens if you select "Immediately block pages on these sites once blocking conditions are met"?

Also, see what happens if you access the LeechBlock menu after you navigate to the URL (of the site that should be blocked).

This works! When I checked "Immediately block..." the pages are now correctly blocked even when I quit the browser. This means I can re-install firefox if I want as this is an acceptable workaround. Thank you!
The menu opens, but the page is still available in the first tab.

According to this user the bug in Firefox for Android that was causing problems has been fixed, so try updating the browser to v128. You might have to reinstall LeechBlock, so export your settings as a backup first.
