QuitFirefoxAtTime is the ProgClub Firefox extension which will close your current tab after a timeout. For other projects see projects.

Status

Under way. Not released yet, there's stuff TODO.

Motivation

This software allows you to have a browser tab closed automatically after a timeout. It was particularly created so you could set up a YouTube play-list and go to bed knowing it wouldn't play all night.
