- Rated 5 out of 5by Bertie, 3 years agoHello, I am also a switch from FVD speed dial to Group Speed Dial.
I really like the features.
A Pro I also find good, however I do not like to spend a monthly amount for it.
Better would be one-time amount, one-time payment for an unlimited term.
I have one more request.
How can a dial be moved in such a way that all dials continue to be
go crazy and not get traded?
I mean insert a dial and move the entire list order of dials down.

Hello, Juraj Mäsiar,
Thank you for activating the Pro version.
Everything is working fine so far and I am very satisfied.
I'm looking forward to seeing it once I've looked at everything and I've tried it all.
Many thanks for your work on the addon.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
Regarding moving the dial - if you drop the dial on the "gear icon" you will be able to choose "Insert above/right/left/below" which will move in a row and place the dial there. But it will also resize group (add row/column) if there is not enough space.
I will be adding new "Dynamic mode" soon that will make things work similarly to other popular addons so there it will work as you expect. I will try to add it next week.
Regarding Pro version, please write me to my support email what exactly do you have in mind and I'm sure we can think of something.
Best regards,

posted 3 years agoHello,
You can change the rows/columns from the "Edit group" window - right click group name.
You can change the layout to "Fixed" and enable group scrolling which will allow you to add many rows.
I'm working on new layouts for the upcoming release to make this easier :).
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by KBC, 3 years agoGSD could not import any of the dials from FVD speed dial. I watched the youtube video of how to import the dials several times and tried several times. All that is imported is the Group headings and no dial headings/url's or anything. Some of my groups have more than 40 dials and I had adjusted the group columns & width to be 6 X 12 dials. Still failed to import a single dial. Waited for an hour for the import to take place - Failed to import. (Though "Import successful" was shown in the options tab and "Save" done.) I tried both the methods described in the you tube tutorial (including unzipping the Speedial.sd file). So help me if anybody knows a workaround.
Reviewed on 28/Nov/2021: I tried again after reinstalling GSD. Did the import of FVD speed dials as described in the developer's You tube video. Pressed "Saved". Waited for a minute. Then shut down Firefox. Restarted Firefox and, lo behold, all my dials in FVD Speed Dial had been correctly imported to GSD, all correctly arranged in the respective groups. All that remained was to refresh the thumbnails in the various ways available in GSD. (This can take some time if you have 300 dials or so, like me).
Finally, changed the "extensions.blocklist.enabled” pref value to true in firefox's "about:config:".
Changing my rating to 5 stars for this extension. I really appreciate the hard work done by the developer. He updated his extension as soon as he came to know of the problem. Wow!Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
I've released new version 16.9 just yesterday that fixes the problems with the import.
It should work now.
Feel free to contact me to my support email if it somehow doesn't work. I've already helped some other users with the similar issue.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Docmex9, 3 years agoWhen I had "Speed Dial" I would give it 5 Stars. Mozilla Firefox took it upon themselves to Delete my "Speed Dial" app. As far as I'm concerned this is an "Invasion of Privacy". I'm Old enough (71) and smart enough to make my own decisions. If I want to use "Speed Dial" it is MY responsibility if I want to take a chance with an app. And my machine is covered by "Malwarebytes", "Key Scrambler", "Torguard" and "Windows Security" as well as "Windows Firewall".

posted 3 years agoHello,
I understand your frustration with data loss, but I think you got confused with the addons, the original you had was "Speed dial [fvd]".
This is a different addon made by different, non-shady, hard working developer :).
Anyway, if you need help with data recovery from the competitor addon, please contact me to my support email and I should be able to help you.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14477634, 3 years agoGenial!
Viel Arbeit vom Entwickler investiert, etliche Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten die nach etwas eigener Arbeit beste Anpassung an eigene Bedürfnisse erlauben.
Daher aber auch nichts für Leute die selber nicht wissen was sie wollen
und wie man sich die eigenen Wünsche zusammen konfiguriert - wie man das bei einigen Bewertungen lesen kann...
Danke an Juraj - gute Arbeit! :-) - Rated 5 out of 5by pa_well, 3 years agoWymuszona przesiadka z FVD Speed Dial. Na razie nie żałuję i chyba zostanie ze mną na dłużej.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Vasya, 3 years agoДерьмо. Потратил 10 мин чтобы найти как сделать больше иконок или просто сделать их размер меньше.... не нашел. Сделано кривыми руками

posted 3 years agoHello,
Right click the group name and select "Edit group" (or from the main menu). There you can make group scrollable, add more rows or columns to fit more dials.
I hope this helps!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Derpaldinho, 3 years agoKinda glad FVD Speed Dial got banned from Firefox as it allowed me to discover this addon which I believe is faster and most customizable
Developer response
posted 3 years agoThank you!
Having feedback like this the reason I go to work every day and work on this addon :). I hope it will make your life easier - and if not, please let me know how I can improve it.
I'm gonna make this the best speed dial in the world :).
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by ArioSuren, 3 years agoThe only alternative to the now blocked FVD Speed Dials. Much more user friendly, customizable and faster than that too!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Marojejy, 3 years agoI loved Speed Dial for years and then, the last update turned to be a total nightmare, I tried several hours but it's just zero. I don't want to spend hours to set up something that should help. It becomes unclear, buggy, useless and ugly. Just don't want it anymore. No synchro, nothing is working, mine was based on most used tabs, but even that seems to be limited to 12 boxes... I have no word to define my anger. (but thanks for your reply)

posted 3 years agoHello,
I know some things are not as intuitive as it should be and visuals are basic..., but there is many options and you should be able to tune it into your liking.
What you were probably looking for was the "Edit group" window (when you right click group name) where you can change number of rows / columns and even make the group scrollable to fit more dials.
The synchronization should work without any issues across devices and browsers, just make sure you are logged in the same account.
Regarding most-used dials, yeah, this is indeed missing since there is no tracking of user activity. I will try to implement something something for it in the near future.
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Razunter, 3 years ago1. Needs better themes and theming options.
2. Feature request: track clicks on dials and sort by most popular.Developer response
posted 3 years agoNew themes should come before Christmas! I just need to finish upgrading my server and I will working on those.
Sorting by most popular can be done as well, I will try to move it up in my todo list :).
Have a nice day :)
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by Asfari, 3 years agoYou cannot blur the dial's background (only color), same thing for background images. I hope it will be implemented in the future update for better looking :)
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello,
Could you write me to my support email more details? I may be able to write you some custom styles that will enable that even the current version (since there is support for loading custom CSS styles in the Options page).

posted 3 years agoEDIT:
Regarding your question - the synchronization is automatic, just login to the same account on all devices:

I hope this helps :)
Hello,
The synchronization is not paid :).
There is only few Pro features, all listed here:
https://github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/PRO-version-features
Most of the features including all Cloud synchronization and backup is forever free!
