Thank you for the review and your input!
New option for removing context menu item "Add this page to dial" will be introduced in upcoming version 4.0 (coming soon).
Have a nice day :)

Juraj Mäsiar- Rated 4 out of 5by NoXPhasma, 8 years agoThis is a great Addon, which will replace Fast Dial for me. But there is still space to improve this Addon by far.
1. Automatically generated Thumbnails are really ugly, because you cannot chose the "Browser Size" on which the thumbnails should be recorded. So you get thumbnails which only show a fraction of a website. Please add this!
*update* found out that refresh by visiting does exactly what I needed.
2. I would like to set the max displayed width of the whole Thumbnails, when I chose to use 4 columns and 12 rows the thumbnails are stretched very strong. Usually I would do it myself with Stylish, but thanks to webext this isn't possible anymore. Please consider to add many more styling options to the Addon, your users will love it, believe me!
Thanks for this Addon, keep on!Developer response
posted 8 years agoHello,
Thank you for the review and good ideas.
1) You are right, there needs to be more options for sizes... I will add some in future versions, currently for "Refresh dial" there is only a "|B|" button next to it (in context menu) that will create even bigger (more zoomed) thumbnail.
2) Yes if you setup 4x12 dials then the stretch will be crazy! I didn't think of this but it's actually a great idea. I will add this soon. Until then you can try to create more groups and maybe increase space between dials...
Thank you for nice ideas, if you have more, feel free to write me on my support e-mail.
Have a nice day!

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by SorryForMyEN, 8 years agoYou can not hide home/account/option buttons on dial page and there is no numbering of dials and groups, or shortcuts to access them directly. But it is a very beautiful extension and the visual possibilities are diverse with colors gradient. For the future, it would be great to have more style options, such as right-angle corners, active tab of the same color as the active group, navigation between dials/groups by directional keys, backup of dials/settings, and option to do not overwrite default pages (newtab and home).

posted 8 years agoHello,
thank you for the good ideas. I will definitely implement most of them if not all! Some of them are already planned for the next release like the keys shortcuts to make it fully controllable by keyboard. Also more visual options is coming.
Thanks again and have a nice day!

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by suijurisdeigratia, 8 years agoI've been an FVD user for years but it was time to switch my dial add-on that is compatible with the new multiprocess functionality in Firefox. Firefox 57 compatibility is also a big plus at this stage in development. This dial add-on has it all. It's smooth, fast, and offers the ability to layer dials which is really nice. The cloud sync is also great and works well. I'm using it in both Firefox and Chrome across multiple windows operating systems (7 and 10). My only suggestion is to add the ability for the Main Group bar at the top to wrap as when I had a huge list of groups it wasn't able to wrap to a new line. Keep up the great work!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Anonymous, 8 years agoOverall very good, works as advertised. Has some issues with generating thumbnails on some pages, but the 'refresh by visiting page' option is a decent workaround. Took me a while to figure out that I can change the number of rows/columns by right-clicking the tab at the top. I feel like it should ask how many to make the first time the page is opened.
I can set a thumbnail with a file, but not a URL. I'd imagine this would be easy to add. The speed dial plugin I was using before also allowed thumbnails to auto- refresh after X hours/days, this does not appear to.Developer response
posted 8 years agoHello,
Thank you for the feedback!
It's helping me to get better.
Next version will enable user to change default dimension on first initialization.
I've add some FAQ in description.
Support for thumbnails from URL is planned in next few weeks.
Sadly background auto-reload is currently not possible with the new Web-extension API.
Thanks again and have a nice day.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10385182, 8 years agoHi
I found your extension the most suitable speed dial out there (for Firefox). However I've some requests in possible:
1. Actually you make use of a fixed grid layout. Please support instead a totally fluid layout with no empty boxes and adaptable dials.
2. I don't know if it's a WebExtension API limitation, but a clean addressbar should absolutely be a must IMHO
3. option to not show any title on dials
4. let user change the thumbnail with what he want
Thanks in advanceDeveloper response
posted 8 years agoHi,
New version 3.4 was released yesterday. You can now hide empty dials (in options), hide title on all dials (in options), setup custom thumbnail pictures (in edit popup).
Regarding addressbar there is a bug in Firefox that should be fixed, until then you can use Ctrl + L shortcut to focus adressbar and start writing...
If you have more ideas or feature request, let me know on my support e-mail.
Thanks for the input and have a nice day.
Best regards,
