Hi!

It's quite a nice alternative to Speed Dial which I've used for so many years. And I didn't have any serious troubles with it since I've switched to it after Speed Dial had died. But now, after the last update occurred, something strange happens to it.

My Firefox doesn't have a homepage, I always set it as about:home and it works just fine. It still works but now, when I open FF, after downloading about:home, it automatically starts to download Dial #10 from 1st group of my GSD set. It doesn't depend on which site is set in this dial, it doesn't depend on the version of Firefox (I've tried to switch from v. 57.0.4 to v. 58 - nothing has changed after it). When I clear the dial, everything's alright, only about:home is downloaded as usual.

I don't know whether this issue is caused by new version of GSD or not. It's not very serious but quite annoying like any other things occurring without my intention. If there's any way to fix this issue, I would be glad to see it fixed. It's not very convenient to keep that Dial #10 cleared forever:)

As for the rest, Group Speed Dial is fine. Keep up the good work!

I installed a number of 'other' speed dial extensions just now.
I was not satisfied with any of them.
Considering doing a rollback on Firefox to ver 54 when I figured I would give this extension ONE MORE TRY.
I installed it again and restarted my browser and it started working again. All the features came back but I lost my dials because I didn't do a back up.

I like that I can add groups.
I like that I can take a screenshot and set that as my image for the dial.
I like that I can drag and drop my dials.
I like that I can color code my groups.
I believe if there was a way to drag a page and drop it to a new dial this extension would be fantastic.

I don't know what caused the extension to fail.
I now know to back up my dials and I have synced them on the cloud too.
I sincerely hope this is the end of my speed dial frustration.
Now if someone could make a BBCode Xtra replacement I'd be happy with this new firefox.

Good add-on. I used speed dail before but switched because of the firefox-update. This is a good alternative.
Missing is a feature to auto-update the thumbnails but the developer promised to implement this.

For the last few days this add-on got slower and slower. Pressing the home-button leads to 3-4 sec. of unresponsiveness of firefox and black thumbnails. After this time the thumbnails show up one by one so i need ~10 sec. before i can use my dails-page (im not using cloud-dail). Im not really sure what changed. Before this groupspeeddail showed very quick responses.

Edit: The problem was Ghostery. Without Ghostery everything is fine. So back to 5 stars. A compability-fix would be nice tho.

Einfach und klassisch. Perfekt.

thanks

Merci mille fois pour cette appli. Elle prend la relève de l'excellent Speed Dial de Josep del Rio, de plus on peut importer les paramètres de ce dernier sur cette version. Je n'avais pas mis a jour mon firefox vers Quantum parce que Speeddial n'était plus compatible.
Merci à toi Juraj d'avoir pris la suite.
Continue à améliorer ton application.Je suis certain que tu as fais des milliers voire des millions d'heureux. Encore un ENORME MERCI.

Fantastic. Period. Been using various renditions of Speed Dial for many years now. This one is by far the best. Practically automatic. Ridiculously easy to set up. Anyone giving this a bad review has got personal issues.

I've found only one issue with it. The options button on the native FF Addons page doesn't open options. It opens the description page for the addon, but that isn't really an issue because there is more than one way to open the options from within the app.

Well done!

Очень удобно.

Отлично! То что я искал

Зрозуміло,зручно .+ синхронізація. Раніше використовував Super Start.

J'utilisais Speed Dials avant que Firefox ne passe à la version Quantum et que le module devienne obsolète. Ce module le remplace parfaitement et ajoute d'autres possibilités pratiques.
Cependant, deux choses me chiffonnent : 1) La miniature ne se crée pas toujours et laisse un carré blanc. 2) Le lien pour définir la page en temps que page d'accueil change souvent ce qui m'oblige à copier le nouveau lien et à redéfinir la page d'accueil.

English :

I used Speed Dials before Firefox update to Quantum and make it obsolete. This add-on replaces it very well and add some features.
However, there are two things that bother me : 1) The thumbnails aren't always created. There is a white square instead. 2) The home page link change often ! I have to copy the new link and set it as home page again. It is very annoying.

Perfect work! This plugin is exactly what I wanted.

Version 7.6 messed up my previous dial-thumbnails. ALL OF THEM got a white border on top (setting: No title on dials), even they are all set up to be "centered" (dial ratio: fix 1×1). With version 7.5 they looked fine. Hope this will be fixed very, very soon! Thanks.

Edit: I found out, if "No title on dials" and ALSO "Dial names on bottom" is activated, you can avoid this bug.

BTW: I am expecting on "Refresh dials" to reload and refresh MY "Custom stored thumbnail file" (if chosen) and not to rebuild the dials with a web page preview!

P.S. Dial ratio seems to be changed again, but sadly not to be exact square (in v7.5 the were 256×246, in v7.6 they are now 256×249).
Is it so difficult to make them "at least" exact square (1:1, e. g. 256×256, 128×128 etc) if "dial ratio" is set "fix: 1×1?
Now – to avoid the white border – I have to edit all my customized thumbs. Too bad!

Padrocker

Edit 2 (after bug fix 7.7):
Many thanks to the developer, who instantly fixed the bug described in my review (well, it still appears, if you use the "No title on dials" in combination with "Dial names on bottom" activated – then on the bottom).
Anyway, it works for me now, deactivating "Dial names on bottom".
For his (developer's) very fast bug fix (within 1-2 hours!) I am updating my rating to 3.5 stars.

But It's still not understandable, why WE cannot have such a SIMPLE THING like REAL "square thumbs", and why the author uses really exotic thumbs' ratios, that even seem to change between versions – instead of making them simply SQUARE! (like most of all other programs/apps in a similar context do). Should all users edit all their customized image files on every GSD update? That's not very handy, isn't it.
Although I am quite happy for the add-on itself, substituting the out-dated "Speed Dial" (by Josep del Rio).

Kind regards,
Padrocker
