- by Firefox user 12663845, 10 months agoRated 4 out of 5Great addon. I've been looking for a good speed dial addon quite a while and been testing many. This one is my fav so far.
Pros:
+ Most important: privacy is respected. The addon doesn't track usage nor does it send info about website usage to third-party services what is a must for such a tool.
+ The author tries to use as little rights as needed to make the addon work and he clearly explains the rights in the addon's description.
+ Thumbnails are loaded locally, it's even possible to use local graphic/logo files, i.e. no online connection needed.
Cons:
- Cutomising the look and feel, in particular size, of the dials is not yet possible
- Creating thumbnails from public library often doesn't show results. Maybe another service could be used here (like e.g. https://logo.clearbit.com)Developer response
posted 10 months agoHello,
Thank you for the feedback!
The service for thumbnails you mentioned is amazing! I will totally integrate that in near future! If you know more good services like this, please let me know!
Thanks again and have a nice weekend :)

Juraj Mäsiar - by Firefox user 14713373, 10 months agoRated 4 out of 5I don’t know who is to blame, but now with Update 71 for Firefox, the page with Speeddial began to open with a delay of several seconds. Fix it if possible

posted 10 months agoHello,
I haven't released new version so this must be Firefox related.
Things you could try:
1) restart whole PC
2) reinstall my extension. But first make backup - export your dials and thumbnails from Options page / Import backup tab. Then uninstall, restart Firefox, install back.
3) If that won't help, you can use Firefox reset to fix your Firefox profile:
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, so make sure to have backup).
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.
Best regards,

posted a year agoHello,
The Cloud synchronization is by default off. It will turn ON only if you create cloud account and login to your account:

So if you have account, just logout.

Juraj Mäsiar- by Firefox user 13985865, a year agoRated 5 out of 5This is useful and works very well and is a great replacement (with better features) of FAST DIAL. Many thanks !

- by Firefox user 15091698, a year agoRated 4 out of 5So far so good. There are lots of options and at this moment have no time check all of them. Good job.
Update - Oh yes Juraj you had a very good idea developing this plugin. At first I thought, well, I'll give a try thinking I already have lots of bookmarks and this might be redundant. No it is not redundant at all. In fact it is much more powerful and easy to maintain and use than the native Bookmarks.
Thanks again.
New Update:
I dropped one star cause things are complicating. Maybe there are too many options or the whole thing is getting crowded and confused. Caveat emptor Juraj. A cute baby may be turn a monster. - by Firefox user 13251744, a year agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Firefox user 12427304, a year agoRated 5 out of 5It's all OK. Very good.
But with the last Firefox version (70.0.1) I lost all favorite site groups and in the GSD Option I didn't find the possibility to load the old saved setting.
So I downgraded to Firefox version 70.0.0 and all is now OK.

If you are not using Cloud server in my addon, then make sure to export your dials to a file as a backup (just in case).
Have a nice weekend.

- by Firefox user 14438957, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Excellent add-on, i like that is compatible with other discotninous add-ons and the free cloud sync feature. Highlly recommended.
- by Loa, a year 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 a year 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, a year 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?
Developer response
posted a year 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, a year 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 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.
