Reviews for Group Speed Dial
Group Speed Dial by Juraj Mäsiar
Review by MediaPuck
Rated 4 out of 5
by MediaPuck, 8 years agoI came from FVD, installed Group Dial, and sorry to say, am going back to FVD.
There is on page 2 here a review "by vee, 21 days ago"
that claims that FVD charges for more dials - totally untrue.
FVD has never charged for anything pertaining to the dials.
I am NOT an employee of theirs or in any other way associated with them,
other than being a normal consumer with their extension installed.
They are around a long time. Yes, they maybe still a little bit slower, but also
serving up a lot more customizing options. Just far more mature. That's all.
Am sure that within a year or so Group Dial will also have good changes to show.
Right now it's more Beta than anything. This is not a critique just a statement.
I am around a long time online [since 1993] and have seen many come and go.
Group Dial is definitely one that will remain.
For now I will continue to use FVD, that now is also faster after their re-write for FF 57.
The only slower aspect is the rebuilding of thumbnails. Everything else
[cloud storage etc.] it has everything and more .
Just wanted to set the record straight that they never charged anyone for anything
and have no intentions to do so. They have a business with some software etc.
where they have a regular shopping cart. But the Speed Dial is provided 100% for free
ever since their inception many years ago.
I would pay [I I do for a Pro since I have close to 3000 dials and want the benefit
of customer service solutions fast if needed]. I have enjoyed their speed dials
extension for free since many years, and they too have to make a living.
There is nothing wrong with that. I'd consider the same benefit if I would use
Group Dial as my primary bookmarking.
I will come back from time to time and see hopefully progress and maturing. :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15327373, 25 days agoIt's a great addon and all, but $25-$30 EVERY year to use the extra features is not reasonable.

posted 25 days agoHello,
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 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19759809, a month agoПоставив 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. Developer response
posted a month agoHello,
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:

Juraj Mäsiar- Rated 5 out of 5by StevieStoner, 2 months agoMy ABSOLUTE Favorite extension, i use it every single day. Thank You guys ! <3
- Rated 5 out of 5by Desert Catmom, 2 months agoWorks 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.
- Rated 4 out of 5by pulsar14, 3 months ago"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 youDeveloper response
posted 3 months agoHello,
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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ssdogdu, 5 months agoThe dial dimensions are too large. I gave 4 stars but I would give 5 stars if it was possible to resize dials and adjust how many dials should be in a row.
Edit: Yep, did it! Thanks. Will change to 5 stars of course.Developer response
posted 5 months agoHello,
You can customize the group layout in the "Edit group" window - right click group name or open main menu and click "Edit group".

posted 8 months agoHello,
Group Speed Dial version 26.0 is still compatible with Firefox ESR 115, you can install it from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/versions/
(click the "[Download file](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4348052/groupspeeddial-26.0.xpi)" below the change log)
Sadly, I can no longer bring back support in the current version of my addon due to missing JavaScript features in Firefox ESR 115. Even the newer ESR 128 is getting too old and in a few months will be replaced with Firefox ESR 140.
But the version 26.0 should work fine.
Best Regards,
Juraj Mäsiar
