good extension

Note : if you want that cloud synchronisation works, be sure that firefox accepts tiers cookies

Getting my feet wet with the options. Much better than Nimbus Speed Dial

This is not Fast Dial, but Fast Dial is sadly no longer supported. Why not 5 stars? Because it doesn't load on Firefox start, you need to wait about 30 seconds for Group Speed Dial to load, pretty long right? Sometimes dials go missing during normal browsing and you need to wait for them again. Fix this (and don't screw up anything else) and I will rate 5 stars.

Other thing I don't really like is creating new account so you can have your dials synchronized. In Fast Dial they were bookmarks so you only needed Firefox account for this.

After working out what does what, I'm quite happy with this, although I miss the old Speeddial. However, I hope that, in time, this will be as good as the Legacy Speeddial, and it seems from the other comments and responses here that the developer is working at speed to introduce some new "bells and whistles". The background refresh would be good, but appears to be impossible in the new FF architecture.

My main wish at the moment is to be able to resize thumbnails across the Dial Groups, and to make them smaller, which I would find easier to work with.

Excellent program. The thumbnail creation works much better than any other speed dial program I've used. Never fails to capture the full image from the website. The only criticism I have is that you can not set dials to reload automatically dial by dial. It's either all or none. A few of the websites I have dials for don't produce thumbnails that are pleasing to the eye so I have thumbnails I make myself for those and I don't want those dials to ever change. So I have to manually reload each dial I do want to reload and that does take time.

After some testing in Firefox 57 I now prefer GroupSpeedDial; most of the functionality I need is there, except:
- access to local files (file:///data/xxx/index.html)
- group-specific background color

Great Add-on - Thanks
Wolfgang.

It's a good extension. Only the synchronization doesn't work.

Hi, sorry about the one-star. You have obviously put a lot of work into this but it doesn't do what I used speed-dial for. ie short-cuts.

I used Speed-Dial as a speedy way of getting to my favourite sites. control-1 was google, control-2 was wikipedia, etc, but I can't find a similar feature in group-speed-dial.

I'm using Linux Mate on a laptop and I have bad wrists so mouse-based solutions are bad for me, I want keyboard tools.

Addendum

Aha! I discovered quite by accident that there is another add-on "Ctrl + Number for Group Speed Dial" by the same author that adds this so I've upped to 4 stars. Here are 3 wibnis/quibbles (Wouldn't It Be Nice If)
1) I didn't find it because it was off the bottom of the page on the "General" tab in the options
2) When I found the text, it kept on saying "you need this extra addon" even though I had already added it. This was slightly confusing
3) Can we have Shift+Control+Number to open in a new tab please? Equivalent to Control-T followed by Control-N

Only a blank page loads when using "Export settings and dials" - How to backup locally?

RU. Mozilla плохо открывает ваше дополнение как стартовую страницу. Новая вкладка с вашим дополнением всегда работает и загружается хорошо и быстро, но стартовая страница часто загружается пустой. Сделайте удобнее адрес стартовой страницы для настройки в Mozilla. Спасибо.

Sehr schöner Ersatz für das "Speed Dial". Was ich vermisse ist die Möglichkeit auch eine lokal auf dem Rechner (oder Netzwerk) gespeicherte html-Datei hinterlegen zu können. "Speed Dial" konnte das. Alle Versuche mit "file:///F:/Folder/index.html", "file://///Computer/d$/Eigene%20Dateien/User/Documents/Folder/index.html" etc. funktionieren nicht.

В настройках не работает функция "Диалы без заголовков (только миниатюры)".

nice alternative to the good old Speed Dial, for the quantum release. Import function works fine. It needs some adjustments to make it look like the old speed dial, still needs a bit improvement in how the dials look, for example a small border to separate the dial title from the thumbnail would be nice. Small bug to report: in options -> general -> copy homepage link, then paste that URL to "override new tab page with URL" field, will result in a funny loop

Очень нужны горячие клавиши. Без них прыгать по вкладкам только время терять. Пока что Speed Dial в ТОПе.

Very well! But "export" do noting :( (FF57. Ubuntu)

Love that there's an import option for importing dials from Joseph Del Rio's Speed Dial add-on. Would love to see the keyboard options that were available in Speed Dial that I'm really missing :(

Works fine. Import from Speed Dial by Josep del Rio very usefull. What I really miss is an automatic update of thumbnails after some adjustable time. I guess it's coming soon ;-)

Як зробити так щоб меню було на російській чи українській мові?
