- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15106485, 2 years agoI faced an error, and it still doesnt fixed. With FF not running I select a link somewhere - FF open a link, and, in a second, Quick Dial overrides opened link with own page. WTF?
- Rated 3 out of 5by cauchanfe, 2 years agosolo que cada vez que lo instalo en otra pc el orden de los thumbnails se va a la mismísima mierda
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16391037, 4 years agoSince the last 2 updates, my folder changes places everytime, as if it doesn"rt rememebr where I set them. I am extremely organized and need it, but hose mis-organizing problems are really making me considering getting rid with Quick Dial... wich is sad... Is it possible to stop QD to change the place of my organized folders and thumbnails ?
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12366332, 4 years agoLove the extension, but as of the latest update to firefox, all of the thumbnails have shifted to the right, with 3 staggered horizontal lines at the top left corner that seem to do nothing. The function of quick dial seems to have stopped working, as well. I can no longer add new bookmarks or customize quick dial in any way.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Photogravi, 5 years agoEvery time I close the browser, my last tab is consumed by Quick Dial and when I reopen it takes over that tab. If I remember that the tab has been lost I can click the back arrow and recover it but if I don't the tab gets lost.
Other than that, its one of my favorite add-ons and by far used more than any other in my browser. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15485749, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by European_ES, 6 years agopractically a worthy alternative for the former, excellent "Fast Dial" extension (discontinued). finally.
but some features are missing to become as fast and comfortable as Fast Dial. Where is the "update/reload all" dials function? smooth scrolling and a better performance would be great.
Quick Dial comes very close to Fast Dial but not there yet. Why not contacting the Fast Dial developer? Maybe he shares code with you to improve Quick Dial?Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for your feedback.
It's very hard to add all features of FD with the new FF API, this why FD was not ported.
I've firstly added features that I use and try add more when I find time but update/reload all can not used as it beacause some website need the capture in new tab and for the smooth scrolling need a fully refactory of the grid.

https://github.com/MatMoul/quickdial-webext/issues/110 - Rated 3 out of 5by yolandal, 7 years agoI've used this add-on for a while and worked fine. But now with FF 62 it stopped working! I re-installed the plugin. It remembered my previous URL's, but the thumbs are very large, and I can't change it. Every time I want to r/click to go to the settings nothing happens, and my screen freezes when I want to scroll down.
And when I click on a regular link on my bookmarks the pages doesn't load.
Can you please fix this?
After a lot of hassle and after all deinstalling FVD I reinstalled QD again. It works again now, but I had to reset all my settings and images. After all I'm glad it's working again. Hopefully it will survive the next updates.Developer response

It seem this is the same question...
Edit: Thanks for the reply...
The bug is in FVD and I can't made anything... But if you have a backup, (Previous versions on Windows or Time Machine on Mac), you can recover your storage.js in Firefox profile folder (browser-extension-data/quickdial@matmoul.com/storage.js) - Rated 3 out of 5by Tubelerczyk, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13820218, 7 years agoIf I add a youtube page.
1) NO full a thumbnail of the page.
2) NO full web page title in quick dial.
The addition is too early to make a screenshot of the page. As a result, you see a gray background on the thumbnails.

posted 7 years agoYou need to use "Capture in new tab" in the context menu for websites with js on startup than youtube, facebook, tweeter - Rated 3 out of 5by prakash.gourav, 7 years agoAfter the firefox received an update , almost half of the dials which had icons missing and were defaulted to default screenshot of url.
Curiously this happened only to dials for which the icon was selected from a removable drive. This is a bug.
For dials, whose icon was selected from the local drive and although the icon doesn't exist on the drive itself, it stayed correct.Developer response

But i'll try to find a more robust solution - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13527616, 7 years agoDial page address depends on the system, which means that you can't have it set as a home page with Firefox Sync enabled.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13520435, 7 years agosoon this addon could be on 5+ score (before this i used Speed Dial as all).
but need to do many "musthave" things, for example:
1). on default we have only 2 screens for dials. i used all space (6x5 1st screen + 6x5 dials 2nd screen) and CANT make 3, 4 ... screens =( not all use "folders". i want to see all dials on main screen-tabs (as in Speed Dial)
2). need to make in preferences click-option on any dial "dont refresh this. Lock" ( example- i make custom screen thumbnail and dont want to refresh it... never)
3). (!!!) BETTER to use TABS (as in any browser at top of page) - not screens-scroll for dials. so we can make *** Tabs at top as in Speed Dial (which mean screens with dials) and option to rename Tabs and choose color/font/size-font/height-width. this is insane usefull ! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12542752, 7 years agoНе хватает возможности импорта настроек и сохраненных закладок из Fast Dial.

posted 7 years agoYou can copy or move the content of the Fast Dial bookmark's folder.
But you will lost customization of Fast Dial...
I'm missing time to do this feature and the time needed to provide it will offer the it too late. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13463339, 7 years agoGrundsätzlich ganz gut und zufrieden. Nicht so viele Berechtigungen benötigt wie bei anderen Addons. !!
MANGEL 1: Die "Thumbnails" werden nicht korrekt dargestellt. (Einige bei dynamischen Inhalt)
MANGEL 2: Verschieben der Kacheln (nicht tauschen, sondern einschieben oder verschieben)
Dann gibts auch mehr Sterne!Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'll try to work on snapshot for the next version.
But for inserting tiles, it's not in the TODO now, perhaps in the future - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12892829, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13330899, 7 years agoI am looking for replacement for very good FastDial extension that won't be working with FF 57 and higher. This one seems to be nice but I see many things to work on:
There is no possibility to refresh single or all thumbnails.
There is not possible to write own title for each thubnail.
Some of webpages have not own thumbnail e.g. YouTube and many other.
Try to make it better please :-)Developer response
posted 7 years agoThis is the first version, adding all features aviable in fast dial take time but I work in this direction...
For the thumbnail, the new webextention has limitation for this.
I've maked a note in the description...
