FoxTab

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I really REALLY like this addon, especially the top sites feature. I was using speedDial as my favorite site bookmark list but after discovering Foxtab and that it offered the top sites feature I switched over completely to Foxtab. However, this feature needs more customization perks to be effective such as the ability to change the order of bookmarked favorite sites, updating the top sites image or allowing the user to use their own image for the top sites, allowing the user to change the background of top sites page layout so that user isn't always subjected to a black top sites page layout. Other than that I am completely happy with this addon and I would recommend it to anyone.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3). 

Speed Dial

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I only have two complaints and they might be able to be resolved but I haven't figured out how to solve them just yet after searching all over the net.

1.) The no scaling option for the thumbnails does not center your images so that you won't see the background color on the thumbnail dial. It takes part of the image and zooms in on it instead of centering the entire image itself. There should be an option to NO scale the image itself so that you can only see the image CENTERED in the thumbnail dial.

2.) It takes a while (for opening a new tab) roughly 3 seconds for my about:blank page to load up with the thumbnails and custom background. When I was using Fast Dial (which I've recently switched over to try out Speed Dial) as soon as I clicked on the new tab button my about:blank page with Fast Dial would immediately load up with all of my thumbnails and custom background. It wasn't sluggish and it didn't take 3 seconds to load up.

Other than that I like it. I would recommend it. It is very customizable and unlike Fast Dial the developer (so far at least) doesn't include spam in his updates.

Although, I do have to say I think Fast Dial slightly wins out since it is more customizable, but the developer is horrible at updates though.
