Confusing time totals

Open mikem23 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

My summary is showing impossible day totals.

day time percent
Sunday 2/25 0:31 1%
Monday 2/26 3:43 4%
Tuesday 2/27 19:29 19%
Wednesday 2/28 6:51 7%
Thursday 3/1 6:35 6%
Friday 3/2 66:10 64%

I certainly did not spend 66 hours on the web in a 24 hour period. I realize there are limits to the granularity of data when there are multiple tabs, but can't there be some cross checking? Seems like multiple tabs shouldn't be able to claim the same minute.

Hi, Sorry about that.  It sounds like this known issue (quoting from the add on listing here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mind-the-time/ ).

/Known Issues/

Occasionally the idle timeout does not work correctly and too much time is logged for a given site. This appears to be a problem with Firefox's browser extensions API. See this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1383244 https://outgoing.prod.mozaws.net/v1/1ffde9be9a30aaf30f0b12fb99dc8f63ea64ba2dc9f9929796daa05ce36b338e/https%3A//bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi%3Fid=1383244 A workaround is to minimize or otherwise "unfocus" Firefox before leaving the computer idle.

Kind regards, -Paul
