Any recommendations for a Firefox alternative to Crackbook Revival?

You can configure Leechblock (1) to do this. You have to configure it to show the 'Delaying page'.

I tried that, but only works for the first visit of a domain? Once I've waited those seconds for the page to load I can mindlessly wander around for hours if I don't close the tab.

there's a checkbox `Block only first accessed page of site when delaying page is used`. Uncheck it.

You could try DelayWebpage(1) which I made since I couldn't find a good alternative on Firefox. It's pretty basic so if there's any feature missing, feel free to request it, send a PR or fork the repo(2)

I had some spare time over school break, so I created one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/delay-distrac...

One out of the box option is Dev Tools > Network and there's a Throttling dropdown on the right. Set it to something like GPRS and watch the added latency.

This applies for all sites though, whereas you want it for specific ones like reddit

Sure. Still a good place to start if you are looking to trial the idea.

Continuing to think "inside the box" of built-in Firefox tools you could pair it with different windows in different profiles, train yourself to open the "addictive" sites only in the throttled profile. I don't have the Containers add-in installed, but I wonder if you can throttle Containers separately (and if not, might be an interesting feature request).
