Rated 1 out of 5
by Bill Sr., 4 years agoUsed to work fine, but NOW images don't display on latest Firefox update! No info on a fix! Right now I cannot recommend this addon.
Follow-up comments 06-19-2022. I was never able to recover displays for any of the URLs I wanted to use. Though the displays were all missing, I could still click on individual dials, so I continued to use this addon. I'm a real novice when it comes to understanding your directions...but though I attempted to follow them and reload all the displays, I just could not make any of the instructions work. I've since deleted all the dials and want to know if I re-install the addon and restore each URL one by one to see if the displays will become visible again. Finally, your video is probably 99% usable by a large percentage of your followers. However, due to my hearing impairment I can't follow your message only because you talk a bit too rapidly for me to adequately follow it. Perhaps you might consider a step-by-step written version to help others who have the same difficulty as me. I do like your addon, but having the display would make it significantly better for me. Thanks for your consideration.

posted 4 years agoHello,
Checkout the "Fixing broken dials page" article I've wrote recently.
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/Fixing-broken-dials-page
Sadly, database implementation in all major browsers is fragile so sometimes thumbnails breaks. It happens to some users more often, for others it never happens. It's hard to say why, could be also sign of SSD issues.
If you need further assistance, please write me email or create new issue on my github page.
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

- 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".
More info about layouts:

- 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
Developer response
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:
