- by Lecron, 8 months agoRated 4 out of 5In the built-in task manager, the extension is always at the very top of the consumption line. With a noticeable difference from other extensions. He is doing something non-stop. Also, the preview cropping mechanism is very inconvenient.
The rest are no comments. Worthy. Strong 4.Developer response
posted 8 months agoHello,
The consumption sounds strange, could you give me more details? When I check "about:performance", I can see the "Energy Impact" as Low(0.35), which is higher than others but still pretty low (single Spotify tab not playing any music has Medium (6.05)).
But memory wise it should be pretty good - right now it shows only 3.2MB.
Regarding the "preview cropping mechanism", I'm opened to suggestions :). Please contact me to my support e-mail.
I'm always to receive a feedback.
Best regards,

- by tslim, 8 months agoRated 3 out of 5Please consider adding the below capabilities:
1. Support multiple pages by individual dial. i.e. 1 click on a dial opens multiple pages in multiple new tabs.
2. Allow user to specify Group background image on a per Group basic.
I fail to find any FireFox Quantum campatible "Speed Dial" add-ons that fulfills the above and it is the single reason I refuse to upgrade to Firefox Quantum or any future version.
Without 1. as described above, yours is in fact a downgrade of what I am currently using (http://speeddial.uworks.net/) in term of efficiency.
I really wish you will add the mentioned features. - by Firefox user 13571077, 8 months agoRated 5 out of 5

- by Firefox user 11478734, 8 months agoRated 3 out of 5Excellent, except compatibility issues with First Party Isolation.
The thumbnail images are not shown and not able to successfully refresh them.
When disabling First Party Isolation and restarting Firefox, then for 1 time images are shown. And then, again, there are no thumbnail images.

posted 8 months agoHello,
Interesting... so it seems that the "First Party Isolation" will isolate whole add-on (not just the new tab) into a special container - so thumbnails needs to be created in both .
This is different from "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" which isolates only a tab.
Anyway, since whole add-on is running in in isolation, there is no way to access thumbnails from different "sandbox".
The only way to fix this would be to replace the IndexedDB database used for thumbnails (which is being isolated) and replace it with normal storage. However I would have to add "Unlimited storage" permission (because thumbnails and backups usually takes more than 5MB of storage).
This is a problem because ALL of my users will be prompted to agree with a new permission.
So this is really bad.
I can also see that it breaks the cloud synchronization which is using cookie - this is also very hard to fix.
Anyway - as you can see, there is no easy solution.
The only thing I could do is introduce some "Auto create all missing thumbnails" option that will help you create missing thumbnails when you enable/disable isolation.

There are a couple of websites I wished thumbnails worked. https://www.cnn.com/ is blank white thumbnail. https://www.reuters.com/finance used to be okay except for images never rendered. Recently it became skewed with mostly white space. I'm not sure why it happens and I tried various settings in this add-on options, but nothing helped. Both sites thumbnail were okay in another speeddial add-on I had used so I guess this one is written differently. Overall, I like this speeddial better.

posted 8 months agoHello,
Regarding white thumbnails - the default thumbnails generation method has problems with some pages, but I'm working on a new feature that will fix it by default. Until then, just use "Refresh by visiting page" reload from context menu and it will work. Also adding new page using context menu "Add this page to dial" will also work for all pages.
Regarding "skewed with mostly white space" - could you send me the screenshot on my support e-mail?

- by Juri Müller, 9 months agoRated 5 out of 5Geht in die Perfektion über! Die neue Version gefällt mir sehr gut! Was man noch besser machen kann, wäre wenn alle lange URL anzeigen, die mit moz-extension beginnen entfernt werden, so das man schnell auf die URL schreiben kann.

posted 9 months agoHello,
You have probably the same problem as the user below.
Make sure your homepage URL ends with "/dial.html". If the URL matches the add-on URL exactly, it should be automatically cleared (empty). You can get the correct URL from the Options page / first tab / first line.
If this didn't help, please let me know to my support e-mail.

Juraj Mäsiar - by Firefox user 15113869, 9 months agoRated 5 out of 5When group dial is set as homepage, a lengthy url beginning with moz-extension is shown on homepage. This is a little bit annoying. This issue was not there when 'override home page' option was present.
Developer response
posted 9 months agoHello,
That option was there due to Firefox bug that got resolved in the meantime. So I removed it.
However this should not affect the URL (I mean, it can, but you should be able to fix it easily).
Just make sure your homepage URL ends with "/dial.html". If the URL matches the add-on URL exactly, it should be automatically cleared. You can get the correct URL from the Options page / first tab / first line.
If this didn't help, please let me know to my support e-mail.
