Do you know exactly how you spend your time while surfing the web? Do you spend too much time on a given site, and you think you should cut back (Excluding Mashable, of course?) Well, the wonderful world of Firefox extensions can help you monitor your usage and better plan your web browsing, some will even help you control yourself by placing blocks on which sites you visit, and how long you can visit them. So, find one you like, get it installed, and start earning back some time in your life!

8AWeek.com - A downloadable toolbar that monitors your surfing habits and shows you which sites you visit the most, then lets you set the controls to limit how much time you can spend on them each day. The goal is to save you up to eight hours a week.

GetMeeTimer.com - Something like an online nanny, MeeTimer not only logs your web activity, it features LinkWarn and TabWarn. Before you open another link or a new tab, it will ask you if you're sure you want to do that.

PageAddict.com - A tool for monitoring your browsing habits and then allowing you to attach tags to certain types of sites such as "games", "work", "fun", and assigning a limit to how much time you can spend on that type of site per day.

Timer - A very simple extension that does nothing but count the time from when you start it until you tell it stop. Good way to at least monitor how much time you've been in front of your web browser.

TimeTracker - An extension that will monitor your browsing history, but monitors actual browsing time, not the time the browser is open. You can also add work sites that will stop the cloc while you are viewing it.
