AutoScheduler is a time management extension for Firefox that aims to automatically allocate time and track progress toward goals without requiring organizational skills from the user. It currently allows for scheduling and tracking progress, and future plans include more flexible interfaces, blocking distracting websites during work times, and automatically loading scheduled websites. The extension is being developed as a classic Firefox extension to allow for more advanced features and integration requirements rather than using the simpler Jetpack format with limited access.

6. Firefox Extension Development
● Two types
○ Classic: Full access to browser functionality
○ Jetpack: Limited access, simpler, no-restart installation
● Based primarily on XUL, Mozilla's XML UI language
● Both types support Javascript
● Classic supports more complex components + languages
● AutoScheduler follows the classic format
○ Advanced features and future integration requirements
○ Jetpack SDK may grow, but will likely remain restricted
from the desired level of control
