Firefox

Install the PanDev Metrics extension in Mozilla Firefox so that time spent on whitelisted web tools shows up in your dashboards. Takes about 2 minutes.

Before you begin​

  • Mozilla Firefox installed
  • A PanDev Metrics account
  • Your PanDev Metrics API token — open the web app, go to Settings → Plugins, click any browser, and copy the value from the Enter your token step. Tokens start with pandev_

Install​

  1. Open the listing: PanDev Metrics on Firefox Add-ons
  2. Click Add to Firefox, then Add to confirm
  3. Pin the extension to the toolbar via the puzzle icon

Authenticate​

  1. Click the PanDev Metrics icon in the toolbar
  2. Paste your token and sign in

The server address and the workspace are inside the token, so there is nothing else to fill in. The same token works for the IDE plugins and the CLI.

Verify​

  • The extension icon shows a connected state
  • Visit a whitelisted domain (e.g. github.com) for at least 30 seconds
  • In the PanDev Metrics UI: Settings → Browser Settings lists your machine with a recent event timestamp

Troubleshooting​

  • No data? Check that the visited domain is on your tenant whitelist and not on your personal blacklist.
  • Extension disabled? Open about:addons and re-enable PanDev Metrics.
  • Private windows? Firefox disables extensions in private windows by default. Enable manually under about:addons → PanDev Metrics → Run in Private Windows.
