por Carlos AM , há 3 horas Great extension! But with a few caveats.
1. Favicons. You have to download them dial by dial. When you have over 1300 bookmarks/dials, this is a daunting task. Jyri Tuomisto's Bookdial extension downloaded all 1300 favicons in just a few seconds. (But it is irremediably outdated and no longer available. K-Ivan's current Visual Bookmarks extension does the same: thousands of favicons in seconds.)
2. Importing bookmarks. When you reimport bookmarks to update/replace existing dials, all previous dial formatting is gone, including all the favicons. All group formatting is also gone. You basically have to start with a clean state all over again.
3. Batch dial formatting. I have found no way to format all the dials as a whole. You have to format them one by one.
4. Batch group formatting. I also have found no way to format all the groups as a whole. You also have to format them one by one (another dauting task if you have over 40 groups.
Other features are absolutely fantastic. For instance, the breadcrumb/group bar is excellent, and being able to open a group just by hovering over it is amazing. And the sheer amout of customization options is great.
I hope you can address these issues. I'm sure it would benefit many users. As a minor incentive, I'm going to sign up for a 1-year pro subcription.
(Have signed up for Pro, and the favicon problem disappeared. Great!)

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 14904828 , há um mêsПожалуй самое удобное и управляемое дополнение с диалами в Firefox.
- Avaliado em 4 de 5por ElektroStudios , há 2 mesesIt is a great extension, however, after closing and reopening the web browser I've experienced that all of my existing settings, dials, thumbnails, etc. were wiped out — completely gone — everything was reset back to the default startup values. Absolutely awful.
The reason for this, after the developer response, I'm not really sure. Apparently it was not an update-related issue. Something strange.
I do not have any "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop. I simply closed the browser, reopened it a few minutes later, and everything had already disappeared (this was the only affected browser extension).
Fortunately, I had a "backup.group_speed_dial" recovery file saved, generated by this extension, which allowed me to restore everything — to an older state than I would have liked, but at least I managed to recover almost all of my dials and didn’t have to recreate them manually.
Be very careful and always keep a backup file by exporting all your dials. Because any strange issue could end up wiping out everything, just like it did to me and to other users.Resposta do programador
publicado a há 2 mesesHello,
That sounds super strange. Note that there was no recent update, last version was released 2 months ago (2.2.2026).
The "Old Firefox Data" would appear only if Firefox was completely reset, but then all your extensions would be gone.
If my extension was still installed, but data were gone, then I would guess something has deleted it's contents.
Did you by any chance used "Clear cookies and site data" on the dials page? :)
Or maybe some external tool like CCleaner?
In any case, it may be worth checking the "History / backups" in the main menu on the dials page.
It may contain more recent backup, more info here:

publicado a há 3 mesesHello,
I know, nobody wants to pay subscription, including me.
The price you pay is in big part a donation to the developer (me).
And as you can see on my Patreon, I'm not exactly rich.
I could get a normal programming job and make about 3 times more, but then I would have no time to work on my many extensions.
And I would rather be poor and useful to ordinary people than be rich and useful to some big corporation. At least that's what I thought when I quit my job 10 years ago. I'm not sure it was a good move anymore...
I'm sorry for the bad news :(

Juraj Mäsiar - Avaliado em 3 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 19759809 , há 3 mesesПоставив би 5 зірок але, недавно помітив що з'явилися якісь кольорові вкладки чи групи вкладок, позначені кольоровим квадратиком, як їх відкрити і чи потрібно їх зачіпати незрозуміло, спробував закрити, позакривалися деякі останні попередньо підготовлені для перегляду вкладки, пошук їх відновлення якийсь замудрений, да так що на кінець все пропало. Ще дуже давно помітив що після обновлення якщо не зробити бекап то без всякого попередження пропадають всі збережені як групи так і вкладки. Бачу що з кожним роком замість спрощення з'являються якісь непотрібні опції які псують весь функціонал. Дві помічені проблеми - мінус дві зірки.
Користуюся додатком... вже не пам'ятаю скільки, більше за 10 років то точно. Resposta do programador
publicado a há 4 mesesHello,
Could you write me email and describe what exactly happened?
(admin@fastaddons.com)
The update was released already 10 days ago, it's highly unlikely to be related, also there would be much more reports.
Check if there is "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop, it's possible that your Firefox was refreshed.
Also, I've wrote an article that could help you recover your dials:

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Desert Catmom , há 4 mesesWorks smoothly and has a lot of customization. So far this is the BEST speed-dial add-on I have found. Works well with Firefox. Many thanks to the developer for creating this. I subscribed to the PRO version to help support this work.
- Avaliado em 4 de 5por pulsar14 , há 5 meses"Open Group on Mouse-over" almost useless because reacts too quickly. Time delay should be 3000 max and not 300. If I set groups on multi-rows, mouse movement hovering the groups opens what I don't want to open.
That's why this feature is almost useless. Thank youResposta do programador
publicado a há 5 mesesHello,
Thank you for the feedback.
I'll increase it, but 3 seconds sounds a bit too much :).
I'll fix this in the upcoming version 29.0 which should be out in a near future.

Edit: Yep, did it! Thanks. Will change to 5 stars of course.Resposta do programador
publicado a há 7 mesesHello,
You can customize the group layout in the "Edit group" window - right click group name or open main menu and click "Edit group".
