My version of the miniaturized FD:

Thanks for that.
Very helpful
Gives a much better idea of what I was after

I kinda liked the first idea, but If I want something like that, I'll use the bookmarks toolbar...
--------------------------------------------------
If I make a request for logos, make it on a transparent background.

Yes, I am using smaller grid (6x4) and frankly I can't imagine, how to get this stuff into any toolbar.
Big thumbnails are what we(at least me) like on FD not another "favorites" bar.
Isn't pressing Ctrl+T quick enough ?

Its my opinion.

You can get exactly the same effect by putting a bookmark on your Bookmarks Toolbar and giving it a blank name.

Granted, they're a little smaller, and you're stuck with the site's favicon. But as far as usability is concerned, what you're looking for is already built into Firefox.

Not that I have any authority to speak on this, but as a user, the reason I value Fast Dial is in the name: it's fast. Its strength is in taking over the blank tab. Most people have a "New Tab" button on their toolbars. Those who don't just press Ctrl-T. Both methods are a lot faster than menus and hovering frames. You guys are all rightfully excited about Fast Dial's potential, but I think it's important to be very discriminatory when deciding what to add to the actual extension. Fast Dial shouldn't do everything. I've seen extensions that try to do a full-browser makeover all by themselves, and it's never been pretty - they don't play nice with other extensions, they're limited by the designer's personal vision of the browsing experience, and the feature bloat slows performance down to a crawl. Extensions work best (and are most successful with users) when they're simple, efficient, and modular. And that's what Fast Dial is right now.
