- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11478734, 13 days agoSubscription's PRO is not for professionals but all people having some intelligence
Basic functions missing from normal version
If you think - pay
Anti-intelligence profit-oriental thinking
Basic Firefox functions supported only if you pay
Basic "Errors" in subscription free edition

posted 13 days agoHello,
There is only like 10 PRO features:
github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/PRO-version-features
The huge majority of features is free.
What exactly are you missing the most? I'm sure this must be some miscommunication :), for example, many users misses the "Edit group" in the main menu so they don't know how to resize their groups.

The default look may not be that cool, but there is a lot of customization available, like themes and page logos:

Juraj Mäsiar- Rated 1 out of 5by illgiveyoufish, 5 months agoIn the nonpro version you can't resize the size of the dials. Which makes it useless for me.
Developer response
posted 5 months agoHello,
Right click group name or open main menu and select "Edit group".
There you can change dimensions / layout.
The PRO feature for dial resize applies only to single dial. It should be less confusing in the upcoming release :)

Is there some error message?
Unless you are using some very old Firefox, everything should work.
Maybe this article will help:

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5884167, 8 months agoThis app is poorly programmed. After every update of Firefox something doesn't work, currently all dial thumbs are no longer recognized. And do you still want money for something like that? Ridiculous!
Developer response
posted 8 months agoHello,
Sadly, storage breakage is a Firefox issue. Addons these days can't access drive or database directly, they only instruct browser to store or load data. If thumbnails are missing, it's likely result of a broken IndexedDB database.

Regarding the Pro version, well it's to cover the development cost. Since I'm not payed by Mozilla, I have to earn money somehow, and most of my addons are free, so this one is the only one that actually keeps me and my work alive :).
It's a pretty bad paying job being an addon developer, that's for sure :(.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14129858, a year agoI've lost my saved changes after syncing. Also, cannot edit group names, order or content anymore (right-clicking doesnt work), the settings are totally non-intuitive & actually don't do anything useful.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15684838, a year agoRe install firefox and Group speed dial add on. Unable to google login, all the important tabs are now lost. Very frustrating.
Developer response
posted a year agoHello,
Google login was temporary unaccessible Friday / Saturday (morning) due to network issues at my VPS provider.
It should work again. If not, please contact me to my support email.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18028100, a year agoDon't bother with this dialer. It keeps deleting all of my bookmarks that I spend quite a bit of time setting up. Sometimes they'll last for a few months, sometimes only a few days. I'm getting really sick of having to re-input all of my dials and setting things up over and over again. It's extremely frustrating to open my browser to go to a site I've bookmarked to find all of them gone. It's happened far too many times and I'm done!!!!
Developer response
posted a year agoHello,
It's not normal to loose any data. It's worth investigating why it's getting deleted.
Some info about recovery can be found here:

- DELETED...Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello,
I'm sorry for all those issues!
Loosing dials should be pretty hard, there is a lot of recovery options:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/Recovery-of-your-dials,-how-are-dials-stored-and-how-to-make-a-backup
Regarding the Pro features, there is only handful of those:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/PRO-version-features
Most features is free.
The main problem is that many of the features can be hard to discover, for example right click on the group name / Edit group can give you access to resizing or changing group layout (when it's full).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bill Sr., 2 years agoUsed to work fine, but NOW images don't display on latest Firefox update! No info on a fix! Right now I cannot recommend this addon.
Follow-up comments 06-19-2022. I was never able to recover displays for any of the URLs I wanted to use. Though the displays were all missing, I could still click on individual dials, so I continued to use this addon. I'm a real novice when it comes to understanding your directions...but though I attempted to follow them and reload all the displays, I just could not make any of the instructions work. I've since deleted all the dials and want to know if I re-install the addon and restore each URL one by one to see if the displays will become visible again. Finally, your video is probably 99% usable by a large percentage of your followers. However, due to my hearing impairment I can't follow your message only because you talk a bit too rapidly for me to adequately follow it. Perhaps you might consider a step-by-step written version to help others who have the same difficulty as me. I do like your addon, but having the display would make it significantly better for me. Thanks for your consideration.

Checkout the "Fixing broken dials page" article I've wrote recently.
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/Fixing-broken-dials-page
Sadly, database implementation in all major browsers is fragile so sometimes thumbnails breaks. It happens to some users more often, for others it never happens. It's hard to say why, could be also sign of SSD issues.
If you need further assistance, please write me email or create new issue on my github page.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Benzin, 3 years agoНе устанавливайте этот мусор, он платный. То что в FVD было бесплатно для любого человека по умолчанию - тут вам надо платить 2 доллара в месяц. Что, думаете за 2 доллара получите все? Залупу вам на воротник, тут есть и подписка на 5, на 10 и на 20 баксов. Надо кому нибудь объяснять разницу между двумя и двадцатью долларами в Америке и 20 долларами в России, Украине, Белоруси и остальными пост-советскими странами? Ищите аналоги, друзья, этот мусор этого не стоит. Да кстати, дилы обновляет по часу. Это просто пестетс...

I live in a Slovakia and it's pretty expensive here. The money from Patreon barely covers my monthly expenses :(
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by duckword, 3 years agoThis is great when it works. The free one only works about 90% of the time in Firefox. The images just don't show. Should not have to restart my computer every time I open a new tab. If the free one don't work why pay for the PRO.
- Rated 1 out of 5by WinCent2, 3 years agoIn addon, there is an error: when you move the Dial, several empty Dial appear, while the number of columns in the group settings increases - this happens with each such movement of the Dial. You have to delete empty columns and restore the settings of the columns so that the Dial is not so small.
It is also logical to make the thumbnails from the URL at the time of saving become offline and no longer use the URL, because there is a property that this particular URL will lose its relevance and this thumbnail will need to be restored again. - Rated 1 out of 5by hugo, 3 years agoIf you want to fall into the same trap as with FVD Speed Dial sending your data to the cloud, go ahead and use this one. I wouldn't recommend it.
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
The cloud account is optional - if you don't create account, no user data will be stored on the server at all.
And even if you do, my privacy policy is outstanding because unlike the FVD, I don't share any data with any 3rd party (it's just me and my server and I'm doing my best to protect user data). You can check my full privacy policy here:

I'm just an honest developer trying to make a world a better place :)

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14341308, 3 years agoTrying to add images on the dials is a nightmare as with FVD the sizing was NEVER an issue now I have to try and find a proper size for the dial???? If this is ever resolved the rating will go up.
**Update to reply*** - Again NEVER needed to do ANY of this with FVD so even though that addon was "shady" at least it was easy. Your basically only speed dial alternative so I am going to continue using but having all these extra steps that I never needed to do before is what kills your rating from me....Sorry just my honest review.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
If you are adding custom images, make sure to change "Position" to "Center (contain)". You can do it in the Edit dial window / Visual.
I know some things are not as intuitive as it should be. I will be releasing new version next week that should simplify things :)

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by Vasya, 3 years agoДерьмо. Потратил 10 мин чтобы найти как сделать больше иконок или просто сделать их размер меньше.... не нашел. Сделано кривыми руками
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
Right click the group name and select "Edit group" (or from the main menu). There you can make group scrollable, add more rows or columns to fit more dials.
I hope this helps!
