- Rated 5 out of 5by Robert Medrano, 7 years agoNice app for people who can't remember pages visited or favorite pages. Thanks To The Developer.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13585715, 7 years agoScrolling makes background turn black. Size changes don't work.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13372577, 7 years agoI'm not excited by this addon, but it does the job well enough for my needs. It's easy to set up, easy to update the thumbnails, and also easy to manage the websites because they are all stored in a single bookmark folder. Also it doesn't ask for too many permissions.
What can be improved? It does not generate the most attractive thumbnails possible; the screenshots are not zoomed in enough. (For an example of what I'd like, see how the Vivaldi browser does thumbnails.) I have tried various options to zoom in manually, but the result has only been good in one case. - Rated 1 out of 5by Samael, 7 years agoНашел данное расширение как замену не работающему viewMark. Так как других рабочих дополнений нет, то использовать приходится. Но узабилити - на уровне плинтуса.
Поэтому что не нравится.
- нет адреса дополнения, типа about:bookMarkDial
- не видит папок
- не умеет самостоятельно делать эскизы. То есть у меня 100 закладок, то есть нужно на каждую клацнуть для создания эскиза.
- не работают жесты как в окне настроек. - Rated 3 out of 5by SeanPercy42, 7 years agoThe 'use snapshot of current tab as thumbnail' option only works about half of the time. For instance on Vudu, Capital One, and DepositPhotos, the button just doesn't light up when I go to their homepages. Because your plugin isn't grabbing any kind of thumbnail at all from those url's (not just the page I want to use after I login to the sites), I'm left with several blank thumbs for important links. Please look into and resolve this issue. It's been happening for over a year. I was hoping you would figure it out and released an update already.

posted 7 years agoYou have a button to manually update thumbnails. An automatic update is not possible, neither is a "refresh all". - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13515039, 7 years agoI found this add on to replace Quantum's new tab feature, which has too much white space that cannot be changed. Bookmark Dial makes the new tab more like it was before Quantum. So far it works as expected, I like how I can easily manage the bookmark folder I want to use with it. But it appears to have an issue with the options. The options page does not display from the add on tab. Instead when you click the Options button, it takes you to the about page for this add on. The Bookmark Dial options does appear from the toolbar, however, the color chooser does not work from there (a known defect). So at this time with Quantum, it seems like it is not possible to change the color. If you are happy with the default black, then this is not a deal breaker.

posted 7 years agoThe about page is also the options page, you just have to scroll down. You'll see the same options as in the popup, but color and file chooser work. - Rated 5 out of 5by k0sty4n, 7 years agoОтличный диал, ничего лишнего, работает в 57 версии. Цвет фона меняется в настройках расширения: about:addons - Bookmark Dial - Настройки - Color
- Rated 5 out of 5by Darren Weyand, 7 years agoWorks like an older extension that was not updated to work with Quantum.
Make a bookmark, name it and it appears. Customize background, columns and you're done. Fits my needs perfectly. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13460312, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13052522, 7 years agoPerfect, the combination of bookmarks and speed dial
- Rated 4 out of 5by bergg, 7 years agoThe principle is the same as Vivaldi's integrated one, which is great.
What's not great is the design, which looks somewhat FF 25 ;)
And it doesn't even needs to exceed as FVD speed dial does, just please create a color pallet for all the things visible (thumbnail's borders, titles, text, ...), material or simple if possible. Background is already this way - great!Developer response
posted 7 years agoI like the design, if you want to tweak stuff, you can provide your own CSS. Developer response
posted 7 years agoIt's not possible. The API that Mozilla has left us with doesn't allow taking thumbnails from tabs that aren't visible. And also doesn't allow hiding tabs anymore. (This is how it worked before) The quickest way to get thumbnails for all the bookmarks is to open all of them in the background and then click the tabs to make them visible one by one. Allow a little time in between, otherwise snapshot taking will fail...- Rated 4 out of 5by Sulfer, 7 years agoThanks you I'm very happy with this addon, maybe you can add containers like the opera dial
