- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13347659, 11 days agoThe posibilities of GSD exceed regular bookmarking needs. It's a powerful tool and a great aid to keep the helm when navigating the web, getting back to projects, ... I am a very happy user and don't look back to my Speed Dial [FVD] days.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Vaughan, 16 days agoI'm a holdover from FVD Dial. I have been using it for a long time, and it really is/was time to make a change.
Sadly, I didn't get very far with this add on, and it's for two very simple reasons.
1) In the free version, you can't resize the dials. This is a huge fail. I have a group with 27 dials, and the "normal" group with that many dials looks terrible. The thumbnail is far too small, and look as they're cut in half. Just bad, and honestly, not substitute for the look of FVD.
2) But wait! You can resize dials with the "Pro" version. Great! What does the guy want, 5 Euro? 10 Euro? So I go to the Pro page to upgrade, and it's a subscription. Urgh. I don't mind paying something, but I'm not going to lock in a monthly payment. So, I backed out and have returned to FVD.
On the plus side, the import from FVD was very good from what I could tell - so that's good.
I'm not saying this is a bad add-on, but the inability to resize is a total deal breaker for me.Developer response
posted 16 days agoHello,
I have a good new for you :), simply right click group name (or click the main menu) and select "Edit group".
There you can change number of rows/columns or even use dynamic (unlimited) group layout.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15005746, a month agoBye bye FVD how as it taken me so long to find you group speed dial.
The fact you could import my FVD dials and groups made my day.
This is way better than FVD - Rated 5 out of 5by Marcos Alzate, a month agoMe encanta esta extensión, además de ser super personalizable esmuy intuitiva y hermosa y puedes cambiar íconos, nombres de ventanas y poner tus fondos favoritos.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Paul, a month agoHello, please help me. I like the extension, and thank you, but how do I make sure that the message "Your home page has been changed" never appears in the main Dials window? The fact is that I never change anything in the extension settings. However, this message keeps intrusively appearing and reappearing, and it gets in the way very much! Thanks!

posted a month agoHello,
This is a browser "security feature". But Firefox should only display it once.
Note that disabling and re-enabling addon will reset all warnings. Maybe you have some special software that can disable/enable installed addons?
If nothing helps, Firefox Reset likely will - but this will also delete dials data, so you'll need to make a backup first. More info here:

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 4 out of 5by gromily4, a month agoIt's all relatively good, but what's missing is a band - a frequently used band. I would like to add very useful functionality from fvd speed dial.

I have a good news. This is already on my todo list and I plan to start working on it in the upcoming weeks, so hopefully it will be done by the end of this year.

I have moved to a new windows 11 pc this morning.
When I go to the group speed dial page, I can't log in to upload my dials.
Help!
Update:
I received a very quick response to the issue and the problem was resolved in minutes.
Thank you, JurajDeveloper response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11478734, 3 months agoSubscription's PRO is not for professionals but all people having some intelligence
Basic functions missing from normal version
If you think - pay
Anti-intelligence profit-oriental thinking
Basic Firefox functions supported only if you pay
Basic "Errors" in subscription free edition
Juraj Mäsiar has a tendency to be without respect when his concept of free software minimums are criticized - just because you have other point of viewDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoHello,
There is only like 10 PRO features:
github.com/fastaddons/GroupSpeedDial/wiki/PRO-version-features
The huge majority of features is free.
What exactly are you missing the most? I'm sure this must be some miscommunication :), for example, many users misses the "Edit group" in the main menu so they don't know how to resize their groups.

posted 4 months agoHello,
There is not a single ad in any of my addons or websites.
Are you sure you have installed my addon and not some other speed dial?

- Rated 4 out of 5by w.f.a., 4 months agoGreat, well configurable and fits my needs.
However there is a little annoyance, the flickering when opening new tabs the black background is showen for some milliseconds. (Same when options popped up by clicking the toolbar button.)
Can you do something with it?
(I mean doublebuffering or something similar, it seems that the drawing is started before the final gui/picture is ready.)
And a feature request: add editing option to "After adding current page to dials"
Thanks!Developer response
posted 4 months agoHello,
The black background is default, since people complained about "white" flash, which is very disturbing when using dark theme at night.
But looking at the code now, I think I can make it load faster, which could eliminate it completely. I'll try it in the upcoming release.
Good idea with the feature request - I'll add option "Edit dial" to the list of options (if that is what you meant).
