The Dials and Groups appearances can be customized to your liking as well including the thumb nail size. The options page lets you select between a white and a dark theme. This also works if you want to move dials between group.Ĭlick on the extension’s icon on the toolbar, and you will see pop-up menu with a few options including one which says, “Options”, except this one lets you modify the extension’s settings.
Want to move a dial to a different dial? Click and drag it to the dial position and let go. Tip: There are many ways to organize the dials.
You can give each group a name to keep things well organized. Each page has a 3 x 3 grid, which you can customize. You can also add more pages, or Groups, as the extension’s name suggests. You can however, customize the settings to add more. Tip: Some previews may require you to sign in to the specific website.īy default, the speed dial page has 9 dials in a 3 by 3 format. You can refresh the dial’s thumbnail, to keep it up to date. Since it is a visual bookmark extension, it generates a preview of the web page. You could link to the homepage, to quickly visit the blog. Tip: You can quickly add a website to the speed-dial, by clicking the add-on’s icon and selecting “Add this page to dial”.įor e.g. To create a new speed dial, click on an empty tile and paste the URL of the web page in the “Link to page” field. Once you install the add-on, it effectively replaces the “new tab page”, with speed dials which act as visual bookmarks to the web pages that you want. Group Speed Dial has a lot of nifty features, some of which may have been added over time since its debut.
It seemed to me like the author also missed Speed Dial, and had created the new extension. It looked like a fork of the original add-on, something which I wasn’t expecting at all. That’s when I came across Group Speed Dial by Juraj Mäsiar. The default new tab page in Firefox is okay, but I wanted more. If you’re a creature of habit, and tend to or visit the same websites every day, a Speed Dial page can be more convenient than regular bookmarks. One of these was in my opinion, Speed Dial by Josep Del Rio. When Mozilla made WebExtensions the only available option in Firefox 57, it killed many legendary add-ons. Not to take anything away from Opera’s iconic speed dial, but Group Speed Dial for Firefox has possibly the best customizable new tab page I’ve ever used.
