Hello,
There is not a single ad in any of my addons or websites.
Are you sure you have installed my addon and not some other speed dial?
Best Regards,

Hello,
Please follow these steps:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/Fixing-broken-dials-page
That should fix all issues with the dials page.
But it's strange, the long loading time has been reported only long ago and only in Chrome (it was an issue in Chromium).

Hello,
There are multiple recovery options available, see this article:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/Recovery-of-your-dials,-how-are-dials-stored-and-how-to-make-a-backup

Also, it's unlikely that browser just deleted your addon data - even if you used Firefox Reset, you will have a backup on your desktop.

Hello,
It's just me here, single developer so there is a lot of work. Sadly the last few months I've been working on mostly "refactoring" which doesn't add new features but it needs to be done (Chrome is forcing all addons to use the new "Manifest V3" by the end of January!).

But that's over now so upcoming releases should finally add some new features I've been promising months ago.

And regarding the Pro version, it's what paying me. I'm working on my addons full time so what you see on my Patreon page is my actual salary :(. It's not exactly a good business to make addons for free.

But you are right that I'm keeping my change log way too technical. Still, I think it's better than just write "Fixed bugs" like many other addons does.

Best Regards,

Hello Nonya,
Regarding the "long term stability" - I'm using my own addon every day and I can't imagine my Firefox without it. So as long as I live, I will make sure it works, including the server. I'm only 33 years old now and I've been working on it for 5 years now and I see myself working on it 5 years from now and more :).

There was a one-time payment in the beginning (years ago), but it wasn't generating enough money for me to survive and sadly even now when check my Patreon page, I'm not making a lot (this is my full time job).

Regarding privacy concerns, I will be adding custom server synchronization (sometime in the future) and also End to end encryption (this should come in Q1 2022). But for now I can tell you that nobody except me has access to users data and I'm doing my best to protect it.

Anyway, if you have questions, feel free to contact me to my support email. And even though I can't offer you Pro version without the cloud account, I may give you some nice discount if you can't afford it right now (I will be adding better pricing once I finish my server upgrade).
Also I'm sorry for the delay, I'm a bit sick so I'm in bed most of the day :(

Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,
The full list of Pro features can be found here:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/PRO-version-features
But I would say all basic features should be there. My addon didn't have any Pro features for a first few years, I've stared adding them only much later on.
Feel free to contact me to my support email if you have troubles setting it up, I know some things are not as intuitive as it should be. I'm working on those now...
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,
You can change the rows/columns from the "Edit group" window - right click group name.
You can change the layout to "Fixed" and enable group scrolling which will allow you to add many rows.
I'm working on new layouts for the upcoming release to make this easier :).
Best regards,

Hello,
I understand your frustration with data loss, but I think you got confused with the addons, the original you had was "Speed dial [fvd]".
This is a different addon made by different, non-shady, hard working developer :).
Anyway, if you need help with data recovery from the competitor addon, please contact me to my support email and I should be able to help you.

Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello 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,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,
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.
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,

Yes there is import feature - in the Options page / Import backup tab - see the "Import dials from Firefox bookmarks '.json' file" option.
The synchronization with bookmarks is planned feature and it will come in the future. But it was not requested by many users as other features.

Have a nice weekend :)

Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,

If you are running 10.6 or 10.7 version AND your Firefox version is below 60, for example 56, then you need to reinstall my add-on (make sure to backup your dials first). Sadly the new version released today is no longer compatible with unsupported versions of Firefox and you need at least Firefox 60 ESR.

So you have two options now:
1) upgrade your Firefox to at least Firefox ESR 60 or current release 62.
2) install older version of my add-on 10.5 from this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/versions/
(but you will need to uninstall current version first - also make sure to create backup of your dials before you uninstall it!).

However since your Firefox 56 is no longer supported by Mozilla - I'm strongly recommending you to upgrade your Firefox. Your version 56 doesn't contain any security updates released in version 57 and above.

Also if you have more issues, please contact me to my support e-mail.

Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

Hello,
All of these actions are available through context menu - right click the dial or group name.
You can now access the "Edit group" window also through the Options button on the top-right.
All options are in the separate Options page.
