- Rated 4 out of 5by eco.voyageurs, 4 years agoUseful extension thanks! …it would be nice to have an option to replace the website thumbnails with website favicons (for me since I have many bookmarks on the page, it would be easier). Would also be nice to have a few built-in options to quickly change the style. Like a solid background option under the name (instead of a gradient) and an option to change text size & color. Also a quick filter search field at the top that would hide bookmarks as you type would be a great plus. Anyway, still good as it is, thanks a good luck!

- 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 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 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. - 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
