- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15938099, a year agoI love this Speed Dial.
The ONE thing that would make it totally perfect for me would be for the tab names not to say "Speed Dial" but to pick up the name I have assigned to that particular one.
When there are many tabs open, it isn't possible to tell one from the other since they all say "Speed Dial" - Rated 4 out of 5by Staubkappe, a year agoVery clean and easy to use. 5 stars if you would add the option for a search bar above the tabs.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13930132, a year agoBeuatiful in its simplicity. Brilliant to user the bookmark system so it is also useful on mobile!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18005021, 2 years agoEnjoy the simplicity. Would like to be able to group the thumbnails in a logical order instead of the time added sorting.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ffsb, 2 years agoExcellent.
The only inconvenience is that when I click on a Dial in Home and it becomes a drag and drop, the Dial goes to another folder! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17692673, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by JewDoctor, 3 years agoOverall, it is good. Very easy to make nice icons for your tabs. The only thing I do not like is that background image is zoomed for some reason.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Alex, 3 years agoНу в принципе не плохо. Есть такое пожелание, некоторые сайты почему то подгружаются с задержкой, а хотелось бы чтобы дилы моментально прорисовывались
- Rated 4 out of 5by Minstrel, 3 years agoFinally something with tabs! Like good ol' Speed Dial 2. The only thing I need now is being able to import my own CSS to make it look the way I want. Otherwise, perfection!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17258383, 3 years agoFeatures of this add-on is amazing! But what about sync\backup option???

posted 3 years agothanks! speed dials are just bookmarks so you can sync and back them up with your browser. starting with version 2.1 YASD settings can also be imported and exported from the settings menu - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17183737, 3 years agoHi! I like everything, but I can't find how to put a search bar, it's not there no matter where I search.
Developer response
posted 2 years agothere isn't an explicit search bar, but the regular browser search (Ctrl+F) works for the speed dial too - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12618564, 3 years agoVery good speed dial but there are things that are missing for me.
1. No option to resize dials, change number of columns or change dials alignment(Right know they are in center but i would like them to be more on top)

2. When using images with transparent background then there no dial borders.

3. No option to launch a new tab in background
Thank You!! for ur effort making this addon.Developer response
posted 3 years agoThanks for the feedback! To answer your questions:
1. You can change the number of columns in settings under "Max Columns"
2. This was by design, which is meant to be minimalist
3. You can open dials in background tabs by middle-clicking them
You can also follow YASD development on its github page: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial
Cheers - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13944793, 3 years agoOuch! YASD overwrote my Homepage which was a carefully curated list of ~ 20 custom URLs ... which I had not saved in my favorites :-(
Did I miss a warning that this would happen? If not, please add a warning during installation if possibleDeveloper response
posted 3 years agoTry changing the homepage setting by going to Preferences -> Homepage. If you can't find the URLs there, check prefs.js in your profile folder. Unfortunately Firefox may overwrite this setting even without an extension (such as on update) so it is indeed better to use favorites instead of the text field :(
There isn't an explicit warning on install because the purpose of the speed dial is to change those pages, but I will try to make it clearer in the description. Thanks for the suggestion! - Rated 4 out of 5by ScootyPuffJr, 3 years agoVery good but please make an option to toggle the "Add to Speed Dial" context menu item as it's pretty annoying when you miss-click and end up with a random site in your Speed Dial lol. Cheers!

- Rated 4 out of 5by veganpete, 4 years agoIt's good but as a speed dial, it's not really so speedy. The 2 main problems which need fixing are:
1- It allows you to create new folders - but offers no way to move dials to new folders/groups. Added dials are automatically saved to the main dial, you can't drag them to a new group (basically, if you want groups/folders, you're going to have to manually type all the URL).
2- New dials are added to the top of the main dial - this means you have to scroll down further and further through hordes of sites to get to your favourites/most-used - or manually re-arrange the dials every time you add new ones.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the feedback! Both suggestions have been implemented in version 1.14:
1 - Dials can now be drag and dropped between folders. You can also add new dials directly to a folder simply by bookmarking the site and choosing the subfolder
2 - The default sorting algorithm is now the one you suggested -- new dials appear last. The old sorting can be enabled in the settings (sometimes new dials first is preferable, for example when using YASD as a bookmarks manager it's better having recent dials at the top) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16831018, 4 years agoreally a very good extension!
I was looking for a simple favorites launcher to replace the Firefox "most visited sites" page and I was desperate to find my happiness after trying apps like Papaly or Raindrop.io ... Too messy, slow, requires an account .. .
I hope this extension will be followed for a very long time, it deserves it, and above all we must keep a simple and light style ^^
Some points of improvement:
- Choice for a 24 hour clock format.
- Possibility to choose a format of square thumbnails for big icons.
- Choice for launch in a new tab or not.
- a link in the settings for donations.
Very good work - Rated 4 out of 5by ganeshmicro, 4 years agoThis speed dial extension is nice and has minimalist design. It would be better if the icons are smaller and give option to chose display picture for each website as like in Opera browser.
