In that pop up, it shows that you should take at least 10 minutes break. It will help to refresh yourself and give rest to your eyes.
While continuously working on PC, we usually forget to take a break. This affects our precious eyes as well as tires our body and mind. Using this very simple Firefox extension, you will easily come to know that now its time to take a short break from your busy time.
Interesting feature of this add-on is that you don’t need to keep your Firefox window open. Even if you have minimized your Firefox browser and are working on some desktop app, its pop-up will be visible to you.

How To Use This Free Break Reminder Firefox add-on?
Open the home page of this add-on. You can jump to the end of this review to access its homepage link. After accessing its homepage, tap on Add to Firefox button, and install it. Without restarting your browser, it will be installed successfully.
It is the easiest add-on that I have come across till now. There are no settings to configure, neither you have to use any hotkey to enable it. It silently works for you. And when 50 minutes are over, its pop-up will open automatically to remind you to take a break.
This pop up will come 2 more times with a short time delay. This is helpful when you didn’t pay attention to it. The other two pop-ups with the same message may help to catch your attention that you should take break now.
During the break period, you can perform some eye exercises to give relax to your eyes.
Conclusion:
Spann Reminder is very simple add-on, but it can help to protect your eyes with automatic break reminder pop up. However, it would have been more useful, had it included an option to set break time, work time, and an audio clip.
