Quick Dial NG geliştiren: wozniak

Quick Dial NG turns your new tab and home page into a grid of tiles. Each tile is a bookmark in one bookmarks folder ("Quick Dial"), so the dial always matches your bookmarks, and Firefox Sync carries the tiles to your other computers (pictures stay on each computer).

Tiles

• Add, edit, move and delete tiles right on the page; subfolders become folder tiles.
• Pictures: "Capture in a new tab" takes a screenshot of the site as you see it, signed in. You can also upload, drag in or paste your own picture.
• Set the number of rows and columns, the tile shape, margins, borders, titles and the background colour or picture.

Themes

• Switch the whole look at once: background, tile and title styles, and the accent colour of the settings.
• Built in: Classic (the original Quick Dial look) and Anori, inspired by the Anori extension.
• Glass tiles with blur, shadows, smooth hover effects, title fonts, and titles over the picture.
• Save your own themes, and export or import them as .json files.

Moving from Quick Dial

Right-click the page and choose "Import from Quick Dial…". Tiles keep their exact places, pictures, folders and settings. "Export backup" saves everything to one file for another profile or PC.

Why NG

Quick Dial NG is an independent fork of Quick Dial by MatMoul. Its storage was rebuilt: pictures are stored as WebP in separate entries, so Firefox starts faster and uses less disk and memory (10.5 MB of pictures shrank to about 1.5 MB on a real profile). Settings were redesigned and follow Firefox's light or dark mode. It also needs fewer permissions than the original.

Home page

Quick Dial NG also sets itself as the home page, so the dial opens when Firefox starts and from the Home button. Firefox asks once whether to keep this; to use another home page, go to Firefox Settings › Home.

Permissions and privacy

No data is collected or sent anywhere. Settings and pictures stay in your Firefox profile.

• Bookmarks: tiles are the bookmarks of the Quick Dial folder.
• Access to all websites: to capture a site's picture and read its title.
• Tabs: opens the site in a background tab for the capture, then closes it.
• Menus: the right-click menu on the dial.
• Storage: settings, themes and pictures.

For Firefox on the desktop, version 140 or later. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Serbian and Ukrainian.
