Try LeechBlock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng...).

It's been a lifesaver in tackling my internet addiction. It has the useful 'delay option' and other nifty features that helped wean me off social media sites.

Personally, I have it installed on all my desktop browsers and Firefox on Android. I give myself half an hour quota per day for the time waste websites (Youtube, Twitter, FB, Insta, etc) after which a 60 second delay rule kicks in. I've found that my monkey brain almost never bothers waiting for a minute for the page to load unless it's absolutely necessary.
