- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrey Dogadkin, 9 years agoNearly full replacement for the former Fast Dial's primary function. A couple of drawbacks I've found so far:
1. Dial page address depends on the system, which means that you can't have it set as a home page with Firefox Sync enabled. Fast Dial had the same address for whatever system you are using in a Sync domain, making it possible to set Fast Dial as a default page on Firefox startup. Not sure if it's still possible with WebExtensions though...
2. The iframe refresh of thumbnails doesn't work with a lot of pages. Capturing in a new tab seems to be OK, but the thumbnail becomes stretched depending on your screen and grid ratio settings. It would be great to have it scaled while saving it's proportions (and cropped if needed).
[Updated]
Concerning the 1st drawback. Found it possible to disable homepage synchronization while leaving other Sync features intact. On about:config page "services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage" preference should be switched to false, enabling you to have different home pages depending on the system.
Практически полная замена основной функции Fast Dial. Пара замеченных мной недочетов:
1. Адрес страницы быстрого набора отличается на разных системах, что не позволяет установить его в качестве домашней страницы, если используется синхронизация. У Fast Dial был единый адрес, не зависящий от машины, и его можно было установить в качестве страницы по умолчанию при запуске Firefox. Не уверен, возможно ли это теперь, с WebExtensions...
2. Обновление миниатюр через iframe не работает со многими сайтами. Захват на новой вкладке работает неплохо, но миниатюра растягивается в зависимости от отношения сторон окна браузера и ячеек сетки. Было бы здорово, если бы миниатюра масштабировалась с сохранением пропорций (и обрезалась при необходимости).
[Обновлено]
Касательно первого недочета. Обнаружил, что синхронизацию домашней страницы можно отключить, не затрагивая при этом остальные возможности Sync. На странице about:config настройка "services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage" может быть переключена в false, что позволит установить свою домашнюю страницу на каждой системе.Developer response
posted 9 years ago1. For the start page, you can choose show last tabs and used windows. (this doesn't replace the home page but you have the Quick Dial button)
2. At this time, if the window width is the base relative to the ratio, the height is cropped.
But if the window height is the base relative to the ratio, the width is not cropped.
I'm making some tests to provide a best implementation. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13495615, 9 years agoВсё нормально.
Закладки из Fast Dial перенёс тупо скопировав их в папку Quick Dial.
Только Snapshot Delay маловат даже на максимальном значении - не успевают картинки подгрузиться - половина экспортированных закладок остались белыми.
UPD: Разобрался, для "долгих" страниц использую пункт меню "Захватить на новой вкладке". - Rated 5 out of 5by bresilla, 9 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13436854, 9 years agoPerfect addon! To override the default homepage I click on "use current page" (Firefox's Options page). Sometimes Firefox start with a blank page...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13484331, 9 years agoQuick Dial is as least as good as Fast Dial. I'm still using it daily with 150 links. Thanks for the work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13479379, 9 years agoEn remplacement de Speedial qui n'est plus supporté, fait la même chose, j'ai réussi a refaire mon écran d'accueil avec mes icônes.
J'aimerais juste pouvoir choisir la hauteur des tuiles.

posted 9 years agoAvec la version 0.1.10, on peut choisir le rapport largeur/hauteur. Cela devrait permettre de modifier la hauteur selon vos besoin. - Rated 5 out of 5by Naikon90, 9 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13472666, 9 years agoПосле обновления FF до Квантума, перестал работать любимый Fast Dial, нашел данное дополнение как хорошую альтернативу, НО очень жду когда добавят возможность перемещать закладки между экранами закладок. В Fast Dial можно было зацепить левой кнопкой мышки закладку, скроллом перейти на следующий экран закладок и поместить выбранную закладку туда, здесь пока такой функции нет.
upd: спасибо за ответ! действительно, как вариант, можно перетащить закладку на другую страницу если открыть браузер в разных окнах, в одном из которых выбрать одну страницу закладок, а в другом другую )Developer response
posted 9 years agoAt this time, for moving bookmark through folders you need to use the bookmarks window provided by firefox.
And for moving a tile to an other page, open two firefox side by side with the page 1 and the page 2 (as exemple) and drag your tile from one window to the other. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13407844, 9 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13464812, 9 years agoWell made replacement for Fast Dial, just have a few annoyances. Whenever I press the Quick Dial button on the top it opens in a new tab and I have to close the previous tab(would be great if it was a check or something in the settings). There's also the thing with trying to move bookmarks out of folders or if you have more bookmarks saved trying to get them from one page to the other.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12142923, 9 years agoThis is exactly the thing I was looking for since old good Speed Dial stopped working in FF57. Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I can not find the way to move dials from one folder to the other. For example, from Root folder to any subfolder. And the second thing I can't realize: can I import my old speedDial data (dails) to this program in any way?

For import, I don't have worked on other dial but perhaps your old dial can export his data to bookmarks and you have just to move it to Quick Dial folder. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13461796, 9 years ago

posted 9 years agoI'm not sure what you mean by "Please make move to top thumbs when change window size" - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12849273, 9 years agoThank you! A Fast Dial alternative that actually works!!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13209211, 9 years agoGreat! A few new options (in new version) takes it up to a 4+ so I'll round it up to a 5 for the great work. Some more options like ability to paste image URL for icons on a tile and it will be perfect.
