The posibilities of GSD exceed regular bookmarking needs. It's a powerful tool and a great aid to keep the helm when navigating the web, getting back to projects, ... I am a very happy user and don't look back to my Speed Dial [FVD] days.

I have just lost all the dials (shortcuts). First some error showed up when I oppened speed dial page and when i restarted the firefox it was all gone, setup page showed up, but I had so many shortcuts its impssible to recreate it. Not recomended

I'm a holdover from FVD Dial. I have been using it for a long time, and it really is/was time to make a change. Sadly, I didn't get very far with this add on, and it's for two very simple reasons. 1) In the free version, you can't resize the dials. This is a huge fail. I have a group with 27 dials, and the "normal" group with that many dials looks terrible. The thumbnail is far too small, and look as they're cut in half. Just bad, and honestly, not substitute for the look of FVD. 2) But wait! You can resize dials with the "Pro" version. Great! What does the guy want, 5 Euro? 10 Euro? So I go to the Pro page to upgrade, and it's a subscription. Urgh. I don't mind paying something, but I'm not going to lock in a monthly payment. So, I backed out and have returned to FVD. On the plus side, the import from FVD was very good from what I could tell - so that's good. I'm not saying this is a bad add-on, but the inability to resize is a total deal breaker for me.
