- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14624091, 6 years agoOutstanding addon, clean, simple, yet powerful. The ability to migrate dials from cyberscorpio's Superstart (as well as a bunch of other similar addons) is a real life saver!
I do have one problem with it though, and it's a bit annoying: because they were imported from superstrart, some of my groups have up to 800 dials. Group Speed Dial has a limit of number of rows in a group, which is 50, which squeezes all those dials to the point where you can't even see any thumbnails. Is there a way to increase the number of rows past 50 in order to keep the number of columns reasonable (like 5 or 6), and have normal-sized thumbnails in a large group?Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello,
Well it sounds crazy to have such amount of dials in a single group :D.
There were some reasons why to restrict number of dials in one group, but I think now with scrollable groups and improved synchronization it could be much much bigger.
I will try to upgrade in the next release 12.6 to at least 300 rows, but I'm not sure if there won't be some performance hit loading so many images in single group (especially when thumbnails gets bigger). Please let me know afterwards (you can contact me directly to my support e-mail). I'm very busy this week so I will probably have time for this the next one.
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14615361, 6 years agoI was really happy with this add-on. It seemed that it had resolved all my problems with speed dials. But the problem with the profile corruption is a show stopper for me because I use a portable Firefox (the one from PortableApps) and it doesn't have a "reset" button. I recently scanned my PC with "Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool" and I guess (though I'm not sure) this lead to the corruption of the Firefox profile. The process of resolving the issue for a portable variant of Firefox is to complex and time consuming. So in the end, though I really liked this add-on I was forced to abandoned it.
UPDATE: I tried the solution with clearing the storage folder and it seems to be working. Once again, I don't know what caused this problem. Your add-on told me that there was a problem with the profile folder and stopped working. I can only assume that is the antivirus fault.
Thanks for help and for your work.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello,
If your Firefox profile is corrupted, then the issues is not related to my add-on.
If you cannot use Firefox reset feature, you can try to clear your storage folder:
Go to "about:support" page, click "Open folder" button next to "Profile Folder" label and delete content of "storage" folder. Before doing this, make sure to backup whole Firefox profile folder and make sure your Firefox is not running.
You can also contact me to my support e-mail if you have more questions or if this doesn't help.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12565558, 6 years agothere's blank first tab in FF v.65. Please fix this issue.
"When Firefox starts, open dials page" option worked well in ff v.64 and now it affects the same PC everytime.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello,
This is a Firefox bug, see these:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1518863
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1490260
Right now it affects only some PC and only sometimes.
Also I've created special option in the Options page / General / "When Firefox starts, open dials page" which should help in most cases.
However the real fix needs to come from Firefox team.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by rafikiphoto, 6 years agoThis is really the best speed dial available. Very versatile and gaining new features all the while. The developer responds to queries very quickly and is open to suggestions for mods. Thank you Juraj.

posted 6 years agoHello,
The global setting are in the Options page / Dials tab or Groups tab.
And there is also third way for skilled users - using custom CSS styles on the General tab / "Custom CSS styles:". That way you can change any visual aspect of your dials page.
I will be adding ability to create and share your own theme with others so that there is more visual options available.
Also please contact me to my support e-mail regarding the other things.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13843230, 6 years agoVery nice addition! But..
The opening of the speeddial page at the start of the application does not work well. Most often, just a white screen and an infinite update icon. Opening a new tab helps in this situation. Maybe because a slow computer.Developer response

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 5 out of 5by wyz, 6 years agoSpeed Dial is one fantastic extension! I have 33 on my Firefox but, without question, this is by far my favorite. In 24 groups I have 641 dials. It's simply the best of its genre. No other speed dial extension comes close. The developer, Juraj Masiar, is very actively working on this extension. Should you have a problem with Group Speed Dial he is right there to help you. Look for this extension to get better and better!
