Group Speed Dial by Juraj Mäsiar
Review by MediaPuck
Rated 4 out of 5
by MediaPuck, 8 years agoI came from FVD, installed Group Dial, and sorry to say, am going back to FVD.
There is on page 2 here a review "by vee, 21 days ago"
that claims that FVD charges for more dials - totally untrue.
FVD has never charged for anything pertaining to the dials.
I am NOT an employee of theirs or in any other way associated with them,
other than being a normal consumer with their extension installed.
They are around a long time. Yes, they maybe still a little bit slower, but also
serving up a lot more customizing options. Just far more mature. That's all.
Am sure that within a year or so Group Dial will also have good changes to show.
Right now it's more Beta than anything. This is not a critique just a statement.
I am around a long time online [since 1993] and have seen many come and go.
Group Dial is definitely one that will remain.
For now I will continue to use FVD, that now is also faster after their re-write for FF 57.
The only slower aspect is the rebuilding of thumbnails. Everything else
[cloud storage etc.] it has everything and more .
Just wanted to set the record straight that they never charged anyone for anything
and have no intentions to do so. They have a business with some software etc.
where they have a regular shopping cart. But the Speed Dial is provided 100% for free
ever since their inception many years ago.
I would pay [I I do for a Pro since I have close to 3000 dials and want the benefit
of customer service solutions fast if needed]. I have enjoyed their speed dials
extension for free since many years, and they too have to make a living.
There is nothing wrong with that. I'd consider the same benefit if I would use
Group Dial as my primary bookmarking.
I will come back from time to time and see hopefully progress and maturing. :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by ssdogdu, a month agoThe dial dimensions are too large. I gave 4 stars but I would give 5 stars if it was possible to resize dials and adjust how many dials should be in a row.
Edit: Yep, did it! Thanks. Will change to 5 stars of course.Developer response
posted a month agoHello,
You can customize the group layout in the "Edit group" window - right click group name or open main menu and click "Edit group".

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18725834, 2 months agoStop making things have pro subscriptions. I know it's optional and you gotta make money, but it's really stupid of you. Please either get a job or turn the pro subscription into a donation thing.

posted 5 months agoHello,
Group Speed Dial version 26.0 is still compatible with Firefox ESR 115, you can install it from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/versions/
(click the "[Download file](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4348052/groupspeeddial-26.0.xpi)" below the change log)
Sadly, I can no longer bring back support in the current version of my addon due to missing JavaScript features in Firefox ESR 115. Even the newer ESR 128 is getting too old and in a few months will be replaced with Firefox ESR 140.
But the version 26.0 should work fine.

- Rated 1 out of 5by google_crawler, 6 months agoA subscription, for a add-on...
Without an option for getting a lifetime version.
There is no friking way, I'm paying a subscription.Developer response
posted 6 months agoHello,
Well, I've been developing it full time for over 7 years now with minimal income, so the money keeps me and my many addons alive.
If I had a normal job as a programmer instead, this addon wouldn't exist or the features would be only very basic.
I know it sucks... but unless I find a big sponsor, there is just no other way to fund the development.
I'm sorry for the bad news :(

posted 6 months agoHello,
It looks like you are trying to import HTML file using a wrong import field (one that accepts only JSON file type).
Try to use the import field under the "Chrome bookmarks / Opera bookmarks (speed dial)".
That should be able to handle HTML file.
If it still doesn't work, please contact me to my support email (admin@fastaddons.com) with more details - specifically, how was the HTML file created.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Pavel, 6 months agoIn my opinion the biggest drawback is the inability to resize the tiles. When you increase the distance between them, the bottom row goes out of the screen boundaries

posted 6 months agoHello,
Try a different "Group layout" - first right click a group name, then select "Edit group".
There you can choose between several layout, some allows you to specify number of rows / columns, and in some you can choose the exact size of the tiles.
Some incomplete documentation is also here:
