by MatsSvensson, 5 years agoNice, but i wish it would just work like the original speed dial.
It keep opening an extra invisible window, how do I turn that off?
And the rules for rendering thumbs makes no sense at all.
Why are there separate settings for how its rendered when its reloaded and 2-3 various other ones that seem to be triggered at random?
Whatever you do to finally get it to look sharp, after a while it always ends up looking like a crap later.

posted 5 years agoHello,
The thumbnails generation is very complex process now. Sadly the API that was available before for the SpeedDial is not available anymore.
There are three options for generating thumbnails and each of them has some advantages and some disadvantages.
But the best results are from the background reload - which works in the invisible tab. These thumbnails should be sharp.
This method is by default used when you add a new dial (unless you use "Add this page to dial" from context menu on a page).
You can also use reload by visiting page which also yields good thumbnails and it works on any page.
I will try to simplify the options in near future for easier usage...
Also feel free to contact me directly on my support e-mail.
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by mikwei, 18 days agoNever an issue, works on all browsers and OS's, sync sometimes slow, but a cloud access as well so you don't need to sync everywhere. Support has been great, and really it never fails. Some offer some better widget add-on but find this functions better/faster and very customizable.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15944772, a month agoCrashes Firefox every night. I love this add on and have been using it for years, but finally isolated the persistent crashes to this specific add-on. I will have to disable it and look for an alternative. Would be five stars if it was stable.

posted a month agoHello,
Could you write me email (admin@fastaddons.com) with more details please? I would live to investigate this.
For example, is your PC running all night? And do you have "Auto-reload" enabled in some of your dials? There have been cases when auto-reload would fail if monitor disconnects itself when monitor goes to sleep but PC is still running.
But in any case, addons should not be possible to crash the browser, so sounds interesting.
Please let me know.

Right click group name or open main menu and select "Edit group".
There you can change dimensions / layout.
The PRO feature for dial resize applies only to single dial. It should be less confusing in the upcoming release :)

Is there some error message?
Unless you are using some very old Firefox, everything should work.
Maybe this article will help:
