That's the most useful addon I've ever seen for Firefox!
Unfortunately I alwas get the "TypeError: SpeedDialUtils.Thumbnail is not a function"-Error when I try switching the position of an entry, too. A fix would be nice

legendary Addon, never ever without it
but sadly since the last update i get the following error
"TypeError: SpeedDialUtils.Thumbnail is not a function"
That error occurs when i try to switch two Speed Dial Fields.
Thanks for this addon. I have first seen this kind of help in Opera and i think this one is at least as good and better as most of the other similarly addons here at addons.mozilla.org i have seen.

Its very nice but on double clickking for a new tab, I get the new tab as well as the speed dial page. How to overcome this?

This an excellent add-on. My only problem is that I can't hit Ctrl+0 to go to my tenth speed dial. I would love for this to be in the next update. Also, it would be excellent if there was an option to use letters as well for even more speed dials.

It's great, but "Direct access to your most visited websites" is a misleading description. I was hoping for a speed dial function similar to Chrome's where it actually shows your most visited sites automatically instead of having to define sites individually...
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.2.2).Sorry if it's misleading... that description was there way before Chrome, so it became misleading once it was released :) I'll consider changing it.

Just one suggestion. Could you please add in a feature that makes speed dial display the most visited sites automatically? Having that would be awesome!!!

I love it!
I would only request that the dial page allow some easier mechanism to reorder the pages. i.e. drag and drop, or an entry box on the Edit Dial dialog, etc.
This add-on is fabulous!

The idea is great but I'm only giving 3 stars due to a few usability problems:
- Middle-clicking (paste on linux) with a URL in the clipboard on a page should load the URL. It does, but when the mouse is over a box from this extension it also loads the page in the box.
- Using on the speed dial page actually tabs through all the links on all the pages you have configured in the speed dial. It's clear it's just throwing the pages in an iframe or something which makes tabbing effectively useless and probably contributes to #3:
- There is a noticeable memory leak after only a few days running on linux. Minefield 3.1b1pre with Speed Dial 0.7.2

I liked this very much, but it constantly stole focus when I was working on other tabs (even if I closed the speed dial tab), which trying to write an email absolutely maddening! I had to uninstall it, but I was sorry to see it go.

Convinient thing, however (in v.0.7.2) links cannot be opened via FireGestures gestures, and it doesn't work correctly with URLs, which are marked to be always opened with IE by IETab extension.

works beautifully, especially love the ability to set multiple sites to one dial so I can draw up my personal email, work AND facebook with one command.

I tested both SD and Fast Dial and way back then, I decided to go with FD because it looked better and used to work with all my add-ons. After its latest released, oh so buggy, I thought to give SD another try. Installed it and this too conflicts with a few of my addons. ACK. Uninstalling it as well. :((((((

Speed Dial is OK but personally I prefer iloggo, it's much much better and you can even crop the icons from any part of any web page.

Good functionality, however it seems to rob input focus (quite annoying ), and cause firefox to crash closing (at times). Although not confirmed, these cease to happen after I removed SpeedDial.

Speed Dial is an excellent add-on for Firefox. Much like the Speed Dial found in Opera. I really like it and works equally well.
There is also the Fast Dial extension to compare too. Speed Dial definitely has more options to tool around. Offers a lot of customization and control. But it looks very ugly compared to Fast Dial, which looks smooth and sleek. Fast Dial also scales better.
If you want more options, use Speed Dial. If you are looking for something that looks nice with minimum options, use Fast Dial.

SP is faster than FD, I agree but I found other problem with SP:
- can not create properly the thumbnail of some ajax page (google reader...)
- too complicate to change size of the thumbnails
- I use "auto hide bookmark toolbar & status bar", the panels shake (change the place and size) everytime my toolar reappear

After trying out both Fast Dial and Speed Dial, I decided on SD. They're similar in features, and are about as fast on my system. But SD uses less memory (don't be fooled by respective download sizes), and is bug free. FD sometimes give me a "shrunk" panel.
