- Rated 5 out of 5by AsmandeusQ, 7 years agoThank you very much for creating this application!!!
But I would like you to FIX the preview sites, because many sites such as google / mega / youtube and others, they just have white preview, I think it can be fixed just need pause, for 5 seconds, before creating a preview as it was in Fast Dial). Thank you!)Developer response
posted 7 years agoUse "Capture in new tab" in the context menu of the tile, websites with js on startup can't be captured with the default method. - Rated 1 out of 5by La_Perm, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12043317, 7 years agoSimple, ergonomique et pratique.
Paramétrable à souhait.
Par contre, de gros lags depuis la dernière mise à jour de Firefox (58.0.1), voire un blocage.
Avec ce message : "Une page web ralentit votre ordinateur. Que voulez-vous faire ?"
Plus de problème, c'était "juste" une cochonnerie glanée sur un site douteux qui s'était installée pour pourrir le système.Developer response
posted 7 years agoJe n'ai pourtant pas fais de mise à jour et cela fonctionne bien sur mon PC FF 58.01...
Je pense que la cause provient de la syncro qui est effectuée avec tous le favoris au démarrage...
Avec trop de favoris ou un ordi un peut lent cela peut poser quelques problèmes.
Je vais retravailler ce point dès que possible... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13745546, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13742779, 7 years agoIt is a good and simpel dial with a highly customizable grid while most others have so much complex useless extra options, but can't handle some simple things.
Just one concern:
When finally does the "Quick Dial" button opens a tab in the same window instead of a new one?
This is really annoying and I think you said you are working on this one several months ago.Developer response
posted 7 years agoSorry but I've some other priority that is to improve the storage system...
But contributors are welcome on github - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13742766, 7 years agothe add-on stopped working with the version of firefox58.0
Developer response
posted 7 years agoIs the bug resovled in ff 58.0.1?
It seem that a bug affect some users when loading page.
I don't made update and quickdial work well on my ff58.0.0 and ff58.0.1 - Rated 4 out of 5by Plastic Planet, 7 years agoThis Speed Dial replacement is very good, but it needs to offer the possibility for ordering the bookmarks in alphabetical order. That saves a lot of time man !! Thank you very much for this remake.

posted 7 years agoI'm very busy but look on github if it has an issue for that.
If not, you can open an issue... - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12550056, 7 years agoSeveral times a day when working with bookmarks, the settings are reset to default and the file storage.js is empty.
Also note the huge memory consumption when processing bookmarks.
Why JSON, but not sqlite?
"Now, with more than 10'000 users, I've received less than 10 requests for data corruption." (MatMoul commented on 11 Dec 2017)
Need more than 10 users to solve the problem?
There are more of them, judging by the comments.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI've choose to use storage.js because it's the only solution that is preserved in all case when your exit your Firefox.
I've provide a reply for this on github : https://github.com/MatMoul/quickdial-webext/issues/70
I'll try to find an alternative solution but I work on my free time and my job is too intensive these month.
I hope to find time the next month... - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13244106, 7 years agoThis addon to make my browser freezes each press of 3-5 seconds. It's unbearable.
Moreover, for some of the tabs are not displayed correctly on the preview.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI can't help you with this message.
An issue is open for this case : https://github.com/MatMoul/quickdial-webext/issues/81 - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13221270, 7 years agoMmm... How is this even working? I push addon button and it opens me plain grey page. Absolutely nothing there. No separate window options for addon either. What is this? Gonna looks for another speed dial.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoPlease, look the video in the description.
The grey page is an empty page.
You just need to add your bookmark - Rated 4 out of 5by HPS, 7 years agoJust waiting for an option of automatic "actualise" each 24/12/6 hours.
J'atttends juste une option pour l'actualisation automatique tous les 24/12/6 heures.Developer response
posted 7 years agoAt this time, it's difficult because I need to handle the refresh and the capture in new tab.
But I'll provide a feature in the futur - Rated 4 out of 5by eriador, 7 years agoI'd appreciate if you added the possibility to change the font used for the names of the bookmarks (it defaults to a serif font on my machine).
Developer response
posted 7 years agoIt's difficult to provide a good UI to set font but Quick Dial is ready for that...
You can open a debug window (F12) and type in console :
app.settings.grid.cells.titleFont = 'YOURFONTNAME';
After that, make a change on Quick Dial (Add a bookmark , move a tile, ...) to save your change.. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ded32, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Blokhead101, 7 years agoVery Happy with this Dial because it looks good, works fast and uses local storage . This is a big plus for me. Because privacy is important.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13503093, 7 years agoNice replacement for the Fast Dial. I nearly went to another browser and then I found this. Had some struggles installng it but it works nice. I just can' t get it set as my startingpage. Neither of the options in Firefox fires it up after launching the browser. I have to close the startpage and then QD comes up. No big problem but it would be nice if that could be resolved.
- Rated 3 out of 5by prakash.gourav, 7 years agoAfter the firefox received an update , almost half of the dials which had icons missing and were defaulted to default screenshot of url.
Curiously this happened only to dials for which the icon was selected from a removable drive. This is a bug.
For dials, whose icon was selected from the local drive and although the icon doesn't exist on the drive itself, it stayed correct.Developer response

But i'll try to find a more robust solution - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13480120, 7 years agoI can report that reseting of bookmarks settinngs is happening also for me.
But with diffrence that corrupted storage.js storage file is not created or somehow is cleaned before I find it.
This is same problem as @RustyTrombone reported. (will not speculate here what can be culprit, but FF routines is not excluded).
I really like the addon, and it's usefull.
This issue can be relly irritating for users with a lot of bookmarks.Developer response

But i'll try to find a more robust solution - Rated 5 out of 5by Eriskyn, 7 years agoThis is a really good addon! Love it.
Few things to consider:
Adding bookmarks to the quick dial is not intuitive. I tried doing it through the bookmark menu, it does not work. The context menu option "New" didn't make sense for me until I watched the video and saw it was part of the Quick Dial addon. Rename it to something more obvious like "Quick Dial Add", just like how the other context menu option is "Quick Dial Settings". Or maybe add a big "plus" button on the QD page.
The Title Border size is off by 1 if it's not transparent. There is a thin line between the Border of the cell and the Border of the title. I have to set the Title Border Size to -1 to fix it.
If I turn down the opacity, the menu settings goes behind the tiles each time I edit a setting.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for return, It's difficult to reply to all here...
Try to open one issue for each request on Github - Rated 5 out of 5by EJP, 7 years agoBest launcher out there! WHY? Because I hate clouds!
Only thing I would like to change is the default icon setting. I use custom images, so I prefer "contain", that way they aren't distorted. But it's not a huge deal. Not even enough to lose a star! :-) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13565797, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13603148, 7 years agoСоздал десятка полтора закладок,расположил в нужном мне порядке.Через какое-то время они сами по себе выстроились в один ряд и где оказался мой порядок?Пока Firefox не обновился использовал Fastdial-проблем не было.

Drag and Drop, für Lesezeichen, von Lesezeichen und Lesezeichen-Symbolleiste, wäre noch Nice.

So far the best of its kind.
Drag and Drop, for bookmarks, from bookmarks and bookmarks toolbar bar, would be nice.Developer response
posted 7 years agoI'm not sure what you ask but if it's to add new tile with drag drop, it's a good idea
