- Rated 3 out of 5by kai, 10 months agoI love how simple and fast this addon is but I think it lacks few features that would make it perfect.
1- Folders to be shown as Dials instead of being at the top corner. Pretty much like an iPhone folder. Currently being at the top corner is small and doesnt look right when I have everything in folders and the middle area being completely empty. It just look a bit odd and out of balance.
2- When throwing dials inside a folder, it takes me inside the folder automatically, then I have to go back to home page every time. This is slows down the process a bit. Hope to stay at home page while throwing dials inside a folder.
3- I hope to see folders interactions similar to iPhone folders.
4- The ability to resize icons. It is a bit too large for my taste.
5- The ability to darken/blur background so that icons stands out a bit more. - Rated 3 out of 5by Flgurant, 2 years agoNo possibility to change the time format from 12h to 24h. Apart from this I'm happy with this extension.
- Rated 3 out of 5by sudo, 2 years agoGreat extension, except it really really needs an option to resize the dials. Once that is implemented, I will update the rating to 5.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Miguel Garza, 2 years agoBookmarks disappear (get moved to a random subfolder) on drag and drop
- Rated 3 out of 5by Rusty Trombone, 3 years agoThis had real promise being fast and light and with the best image grabbing I've seen so far, but for some inexplicable reason it will only allow 24 dials to be visible (even if columns is set to unlimited), forcing me to scroll down which takes the speed out of speed dial. Might as well use bookmarks then.

posted 2 years agoif you mean you're looking for the ability to resize the dials, that is in development :) part of keeping YASD the fastest speed dial means being selective about what features to implement. but that one is coming! - Rated 3 out of 5by Julien from Canada, 3 years agoIt's a good enough speed dialer, but I wish there would be more customization options. I'm no boomer, but for me, the folder tab's labels are too small for fast clicking. Also, this ad-don keeps putting itself as default new tab and homepage even when not chosen in the settings . This is really annoying. I like that it automatically add Icons for any website because it can be a painful process in other speeddialers

posted 2 years agoYASD will only be enabled as the new tab / homepage setting during install; if something is changing this setting afterwards it sounds like another extension or a browser issue. As for customizations, YASD aims to be fast and efficient so I am quite selective about what options become customizable, but each release brings a few more :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Bagus Aris Santosa, 3 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16132219, 4 years agoI quite like this, but strangely, every so often it seems to jumble the bookmark tile titles with URLs, which is both odd and frustrating.. Also, as someone else noted, you can create sub-folders to group bookmarks, but you can't drag bookmarks to them, or create new bookmarks in them... So.. starting to go off it a bit...
Update: notified these bugs have been addressed, thanks for addressing this. I'll give it a go :o)
Update 2: Well, currently running v1.14.7 on FF v.90, and have just logged in to find half my tiles have the same name... Again. However, "drag shortcuts to folder" seems to work. It's getting there... :o)Developer response
posted 4 years agoBoth of these bugs are resolved in the latest version. Thanks for your support! - Rated 3 out of 5by Kzer-Za, 5 years agoThe addon automatically prepends "https://" to the given URL and there is no way to edit it. This breaks the dial if you try to create it for a moz-extension page.

posted 5 years agonever considered bookmarking an extension page. fixed in v1.6.9 :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15078405, 5 years agoClean and functional. However, as of now there is no way of making folders, which is really needed for some people (like me).
- Rated 3 out of 5by Lewgend, 5 years agoI give you 3 stars because potentially it's the best speed dial I found on firefox
but for now still missing some crucial options for me.
First of all I like that it's really fast, I like the thumbnails,
what I don't like, when I add a dial I want that as ultimate,
not as first, then it would be great to have more options to customize,
like the numbers of columns.
Then it would be great to have the possibility to make group,
just like the speed dial in opera when you can add multiples dials in one major dial
with drag and drop. Then last thing but not that important, a search bar. - Rated 3 out of 5by billegate, 6 years agoun peu déçu car on ne peut ajouter gmail sinon semble interessant mais pour le moment je reste sur speedial 2
furthermore I cant speedial my bank and may be there are others. Finally I succeeded with google map but you have to find the right place in the page where to make a right clicDeveloper response
