- Rated 4 out of 5by Jay, 2 years agoFantastic add on been using it for a long time. Previous Speed dial was using stopped working with Firefox so went hunting, highly recommend it.
Only one thing I can't figure and maybe I missing something but would like to have groups and dials in Alphabetical order - can't seem to find a setting for that Juraj, am I blind or it isn't possible, with that I would give absolute 5 stars.. Cheers job well done. - Rated 4 out of 5by Judy Lee, 3 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by mathkaczy, 3 years agoHello , its a really nice add-on but :) do i cant find the option to avoid overriding the existing dial when adding the new one :/ done it twice and i don't like it , would be nice to have the old one slide somewhere or just preventing to override this way, thanks for support !
I see that we cant make a discussion here :) that's too bad
I know how the system acts , unfortunately when you hold the new dial in the mouse you can accidentality click the existing one, and its not a big deal , as long as you remember what was where you clicked.
Please consider adding a feature to disable overriding when adding the new one, I believe to not be the only one finding this usefulDeveloper response
posted 3 years agoHello,
When adding a new dial, clicking existing will replace it.
You need to click an empty one.
If you don't have any more free space, then resize your group or create a new one.
To resize or change layout of existing one, right click the group name (or open the main menu) and select "Edit group". There you can change layout or dimensions to add more dials.
I hope this helps :)
Best regards,

- Rated 4 out of 5by Saenko, 3 years agoНе мешало бы отображение закладок списком, как в FVD Speed Dial. Если подобное возможно, очень бы хотелось это увидеть...
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14888428, 3 years agoЕдинственный недостаток - очень редко происходит Экспорт настроек вместе с Миниатюрами (получилось только 3 раза в 2021 году) и непонятна причина этого. А экспорт без миниатюр происходит мгновенно в папку "Загрузки".
- Rated 4 out of 5by kooky, 3 years agoGreat addon but since v18, when it opens a dial in a new tab, it opens a new tab in first position instead of the last one :(

posted 3 years agoHello,
Thanks for reporting!
I'm investigating it right now in this bug:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/issues/104
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Cael79, 3 years agoIt's not as good as Speed Dial [FVD] were. But it's the best we got right now.
If you want to open the same tab twice, for example the first page of youtube, you have to disable (untick) "Already opened page detection (see a "blue dot" in dial title)" in [General] or it will only focus on the already opened tab.
Took me way too long to figure out and it was driving me nuts. - Rated 4 out of 5by PET, 3 years agoOk so far... but the onboarding & the visual look of the extension could be greatly improve.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17183737, 3 years agoHi! I like everything, but I can't find how to put a search bar, it's not there no matter where I search.
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
There is no search bar right now. Since browser address bar is focused by default, having a search bar that needs to be click was not optimal.
BUT - there is a "Search dial" - it's a special type of dial that can be used as search bar with any search engine. In Free version you have have 2 search inputs in a single dial.
I hope this helps!

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by lordromulus, 3 years agoGreat. But how I do to set opacity (mean, I want that just dial with mouse arrow over still 100% opacity/while other 60%, for exemple)
[EDITED AFTER: I'm really a layman in this sort of thing, CSS command lines, but I tried it here and it worked exactly as I wished. Forgive my joy, but I'm even 'fool' to see how a simple text (about CSS) can produce this effect. Thank you so much!]Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
I'm not sure I understand, but if I do then this should make it - paste it into Options page / General / Custom CSS styles:
.dials > a:not(:hover) {
opacity: 60%;
}
If this is not what you need, please contact me to my support email.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16870803, 3 years agoGreat dial extension. Any chance You could make it able to access the same on-line thumbnail database as speed dial did? That would get that last star. :)
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
I'm not sure if it's gonna be the same, but I'm integrating two new logo services right now and I plan to add even more.
It should come in the 17.2 release in a week or so.
Plus new better themes will come soon as well. It will look much better.
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12993026, 3 years agoAfter test other options this is the best replacement for fvd speed dial.
You need learn how to use it , could be more intuitive but in the end works. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13955094, 3 years agoI imported the settings from FVD Speed Dial. However, the thumbnails were not applied, so I set the dials one by one. This was a very painful process. I had to open the same folder for each dial, open the image with the same name as the dial, and set the position to the center. I had to do the same thing over and over again until I lost my mind. Why can't it set all at once for each group? I synced the cloud-dials with my main PC, but the visuals remained "Create thumbnail" in Firefox on my other laptop. I don't have the energy to do the same painstaking work on my laptop anymore. Please let me know if there is a solution.
Thanks for the suggestion, no more despairing about syncing between PCs.
I'm looking forward to the new version which will make thumbnail setting easier.
For example, it would be nice to be able to batch register images with the same name as the dial as thumbnails from the local hard disk. And it would be easier to specify the visual position as a whole, and select the exceptions individually later.
Thank you.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
You can transfer data including thumbnails - just check the "export also thumbnails" checkbox when exporting them (from Options page / Import backup tab).
If you want to synchronize them through the cloud, you need to enable thumbnails synchronization in the Options page / Thumbnails / "Enable automatic thumbnails synchronization".
If you have questions or idea for improvement, please write me email. I'm gonna release new version soon where thumbnails setup will be much easier.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17149681, 3 years agoВсё хорошо. Не нравится только невозможность менять размеры миниатюр, слишком уж большие по умолчанию.
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
Right click the group name / Edit group - there you can change number of rows / columns which will change the size of the dial.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Razunter, 3 years ago1. Needs better themes and theming options.
2. Feature request: track clicks on dials and sort by most popular.Developer response
posted 3 years agoNew themes should come before Christmas! I just need to finish upgrading my server and I will working on those.
Sorting by most popular can be done as well, I will try to move it up in my todo list :).
Have a nice day :)
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Asfari, 3 years agoYou cannot blur the dial's background (only color), same thing for background images. I hope it will be implemented in the future update for better looking :)
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
Could you write me to my support email more details? I may be able to write you some custom styles that will enable that even the current version (since there is support for loading custom CSS styles in the Options page).
