    Very good add-on.
    One suggestion.
    Is it possible to add "auto refresh dials/groups" function?

    Hello,
    Sure thing, it's on my todo list for few months now, I will try to give it higher priority.
    I'm not very good with estimates since there are way too many features and things to be done, but I'm pretty sure it will be finished this year. After I finish current thumbnails synchronization there will be some groups related features where I could add this as well.

    It loaded very well. It does most of what I want. I liked the what I had better. Perhaps it is because I was used to it.

    Hi. Maybe You consider to add more option to customize appearance. I suggest only two features witch is very improve Group Speed Dial theme. Add setting for thumbnail borders - disable shadows and enable borders and setting for bordes weight (1px, 2px, 4px) and maybe for round border. And add optins for marign for all Group Speed Dial (pixels and procents) so for example I can setup 10% margin (space) around Speed Didal. Od course it would be nice for select border colors options. This is only what i'm missing for. Everythin else is excelent.

    Hello,
    I'm adding new styling options over time - rather slowly.
    However recently I've added option to load your own CSS styles - in Options page / "Custom CSS styles:".
    This enables you to make all the changes you mentioned. However it requires some CSS knowledge...
    I will create some examples so that it's easy for users to start. Like that ".dials > a > div > div > span { font-weight: bold; }" will make dials name "bold" (changing styles on ".dials > a" and ".dials > a > div" is what you are probably looking for).

    One last thing - soon after I finish current big server upgrade, users will be able to share their custom themes. So soon you should be able to choose from a lot of themes :)

    Best regards,

    Import from legacy SpeedDial addon worked very well. Unfortunately, the address bar always loses the focus when opening a new tab (Firefox ESR 60.2). It is so annoying that I had to disable your addon.

    Edit 1: I should've mentioned that the loss of focus occurs if you set the "Override New Tab page with URL" general option to about:blank. If you leave it empty, the focus stays in the address bar when you open a new tab.

    Hello,

    Well that's strange. I've just tested it in ESR and it works fine - in New tabs and New windows the focus is always in address bar.
    Also note that add-on cannot change focus. It's up-to Firefox to to control what will get focus. There is only one "trick" how to focus page instead of address bar (there is option for this in my add-on).
    If you have more issues, feel free to contact me to my support e-mail.

    Almost perfect!!!!

    The one thing that keeps me from giving you five stars is the fact that it losses track of custom dial thumbnails when your editing the title (or any other field); forcing me to digg through the HD after the "correct" images again!

    Should be a setting to NEWER refresh the thumbnails of dials.

    I would also love a setting where I can set a specific dial to always open in a new window/tab.

    Hello again,
    The new version 10.3 was just released - now you should not loose your custom dials ever again. And there is now feature to open dials in new: Tab / Window / Private window.
    I hope this helps! If you find any issues, please contact me to my support e-mail.

    Best regards,

    Hello,
    That's terrible, it hurts me just to read that. I will totally fix the issue with loosing custom thumbnail in the next release! If you find more issues like this, please contact me on my support e-mail.
    There will be also "restore previous thumbnail" feature soon that will also help in cases like this.

    The other one with specific setting to open in new tab / window can be also done, I will try to fit it also in the next release (it will be in the Settings tab).

    Thank you for pointing this out. I will release 10.3 probably during the weekend.

    I like it because you can change it to suit your needs. I had a soft spot for Mozilla when it was just people doing things that you felt were for us. I realise that was another business decision.

    Although this is a good add-on, but it has some major issues. We can accept its mal-functioning, but when we reinstall Firefox, then it should at least properly restore its own backup. Mr. Juraj, you can imagine when we have hundreds of dials with locally stored thumbnail files, then how much it will be panic when this add-on completely failed to restore thumbnails.

    We love this add-on and we expect that you will try to make the capability of complete backup restore without any shortcoming.

    Hello,
    If you have some issues with restoring a backup, please contact me to my support e-mail.
    Currently the backup file contains all settings except the thumbnails (images).
    The cloud contains these data as well and when you login on a new PC, it should download it automatically.
    There is also a History feature that can help when you lost your local settings (this can happen if you downgrade from Firefox 63 to any previous version).

    Hello. I have a small question.
    When I close the last tab, my browser closes. What do I need to do so that when the last tab is closed, the browser does not close, but the Fast Dial page opens?
    Thank you!

    Switched over to this when my old speed dial add-on was no longer under development. Works well, but still lacks a few features that I miss from the old one. Keep up the good work!

    It worked great until a couple days ago

    Very useful Add-on for Firefox, but with Firefox 60.0.2 (64-Bit) there is always a hidden tab open with this message:

    GroupSpeedDial - auto-reload tab
    Um das vollständig unsichtbare automatische Nachladen zu ermöglichen, benötigen Sie Firefox 59 und besuchen Sie auch die Seite "about:config" und setzen Sie "extensions.webextensions.tabhide.enabled" auf TRUE.

    I already set "extensions.webextensions.tabhide.enabled" to TRUE, but nothing changes. I also deactivated the automated reload of GroupSpeedDial settings in the Thumbnails page.

    Can you help? 5 stars, when this error is fixed...

    Hello,

    The bug with this reloading tab should be fixed in new Firefox 61 that should be released tomorrow (26.06.2018). If you can still see this tab with Firefox 61, please let me know to my support e-mail.
    Thank you!

    This add-on is OK but one option is needed... "Sinchronize ONLY by request".
    Some times Dials loads too long. It happens if connection to cloud server is not stabil.

    This is the best replacement for Super Start. I wish it was more like Super Start (there was an additional search bar which i had set to Wikipedia. also the super start interface was cleaner) but this is still very good.
