- by Loa, 10 months agoRated 3 out of 5Everything was perfect until I updated FF several days ago, and then Speed Dial started to crash FF and itself also. Now it dont even show my bookmarks and groups, and shows an error.

posted 10 months agoHello,
Please contact me to my support email if the problem persist.
But in general this is a Firefox specific error that often disappears after restarting Firefox or whole PC.
If you can see it even after the restart, then I would suggest you to reinstall my add-on. But make sure to export your dials to a file first - from the Options page / Import backup tab (you can export also your thumbnails).
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - by Oshoreiki, 10 months agoRated 2 out of 5I used to love this add-on until the moment I updated my Firefox to 70. Now it is a crap working full of problems. Are you trying to fix the issues?

posted 10 months agoHello Oshoreiki,
Please contact me to my support email with additional info (what exactly is not working as expected).
I haven't made any changes for last 4 months, so things should work as before (I'm testing it with every new Beta / Nightly release).
Also there will be a new version 14.0 released any day now so if you found some bugs, please let me know and I can include the fix in the new version.
Best regards,

- by Zoey Jusko, 10 months agoRated 5 out of 5Best speed dial we've ever tried. And we've tried them all. It does everything it promises and has no bugs as far as we can tell. It even allows animated gifs as speed dial thumbnails which we love. Fun stuff. It's the only one we use now. Very highly recommended.
- by Firefox user 12531918, 10 months agoRated 5 out of 5I'm having crashes on Nightly 71 each time i'm trying to open new page, no matter dial or address bar with addon activated.

posted 10 months agoHello,
I've just tried it with my Nightly and I can confirm this strange auto-closing tab behavior.
However this 99.9% not caused by my addon. There is no code for handling addressbar actions (not even permission), so this must be some Firefox bug.
I tired to reset my profile for Firefox Nightly using Reset button in the about:support page only to find out, the button doesn't work :). Yet another bug... Luckily reset button on the official support page works:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
Resetting profile fixed the problem in my case (make sure to user Firefox Sync. to backup list of installed addons and make sure to backup any addons data, because these are not backed up! So export your dials first).
Lastly I would like to mention that Nightly is NOT recommended for daily usage and should be used ONLY for testing. You should stick with Release version or Beta (Developer Edition), which contains much less bugs, but sometimes some serious appears as well.
If you have more questions, feel free to contact me to my support email.

Juraj Mäsiar - by Scribe, a year agoRated 5 out of 5I have set this as the New Tab page on my Android tablet, and it is exceptionally good with a wealth of settings for further customisation. I use groups in the same way that I use folders on the bookmarks toolbar of my Windows Desktop.
The only small point - which has been mentioned by another user, is that it could be even better if it were possible to rearrange the thumbnails within groups, but the developer's response suggests that this may not be possible. However, it is nonetheless still a superb extension. - by pepe.disney, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Excellent add-on permettant l'organisation des marque-pages dans des onglets totalement paramétrables, leur synchronisation entre différentes machines et dans le cloud.
Impossible de s'en passer quand on l'a essayé. - by Firefox user 15302313, a year agoRated 5 out of 5This extension is great, I love it.
My requests.
1) Allow to cloud sync our settings too.
2) Allow to create dials not only for http links.
I am using an extension for creating dials/bookmarks that link directly to a container.
When I create a normal bookmark I can open this kind of links properly from my bookmarks toolbar.
This is the extension I am using.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-container/
The link looks like this

posted a year agoHello,
Cloud sync for settings will come, I already started working on it but it got a bit complicated so I had to stop it for now. I want to make it flexible, allow users to share same settings across all devices or just backup each device setting separately.
Regarding your second request, this may be possible, but I will need a bit more info. Could you please contact me to my support email?
Best regards,

- by Firefox user 6515740, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Superb extension and the best of its kind (by far) that I have tried.
Highly customisable with loads of excellent features, and it's easy to use too.
Thanks :)
Only issue I'm having is that when refreshing the thumbnails for a couple of sites, the images are sometimes blank. This happens regardless of how long I set the delay for. It's most probably a site issue and can be resolved by 'refresh image by visiting the page +5' which is only a minor inconvenience.
One feature request would be to load thumbnails in dark mode if possible please. That would be awesome.
Edit: Wow...the new refresh method is amazing!
Thank you so much.
I will contribute when I can. You are doing an amazing job :)Developer response
posted a year agoHello,
The issues with thumbnails generation should be fixed in the upcoming version 14.0.
Regarding dark-mode - you mean you use some other addon for making pages look dark and you want to use it for thumbnails as well, right? The Refresh by visiting page should work fine (right?), also there will be a new refresh method that should work as well (I will add some switch to the options page to change default thumbnails generation method).
Feel free to contact me to my support e-mail to discuss this further.
Also I'm really busy with a new release so I'm replying very fast these days...

posted a year agoHello,
Yes, I'm really sorry but this is very hard to do... I have no idea how to implement it right and there is so many other features that needs to be done.
Until then, you can do this on desktop and let changes synchronize over the cloud.

- by Firefox user 15257473, a year agoRated 5 out of 5I really love this addon and have used it without any problems for a long time. Thank you! There is only one problem now: Since the firefox update 69.0 some days ago, the tabs are crashing every few minutes. I disabled all Addons to see where the problem is, and it only happens when Group Speed Dial is activated. Firefox is then showing the "Sorry, this tab crashed" page. Do you have any suggestion how to solve this? Thank you and all the best

posted a year agoHello,
I haven't released new version for a long time now so this is most probably related to something in your Firefox profile (since so far nobody else is reporting this).
You can try to reinstall my add-on (make sure to export your dials to a file first), but it that won't help, I would suggest you to use Firefox Reset - this often fixes many profile-related bugs:
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
Resetting profile will preserve your passwords, bookmarks and other important things (but not add-ons data).
Before resetting your profile I would suggest you to setup Firefox Sync. - this will backup the list of installed add-ons and after reset it will reinstall them.
Feel free to contact me to my support e-mail if it didn't help (of if it helps).
Best regards,
