New Fast Dial Version available for Firefox 4.0 on AMO

chiaroscuro —Sat, 02/05/2011 - 04:51

Fast Dial

A New Version of Fast Dial that functions in Firefox 4 has been uploaded to our Fast Dial Page on AMO. (Mozilla Addons)

To install please go here


Fast Dial can also be downloaded on Userlogos on this page here

You have three choices
1) Install XPI by clicking on small box marked Install Version 3.4
2) Going to the Mozialla Box and downloading from AMO
3) Downloading the XPI at the bottom of the page and loading yourself into Firefox

Good luck

Beware Firefox may prevent you from downloading on Userlogos
Watch for the popup message at the top of the scneen
Click Allow...


However there remains an inherent problem running in Firefox 4.0

If the background of a cell is set to transparent, the cell background will in fact show as opaque, and not transparent as it should.

This is more a failing of Firefox 4.o than of Fast Dial itself.
This wider issue is being examined by a group of experts at the moment, to find a resolution.

As soon as this question is resolved I will post the relevent information here.

Many thanks

Can not install on 4.0b12pre version. Only for 4.0b10 and earlier :(

Although it's the current beta version.

Nice job! I was pleaseantly surprised to see Fast Dial working when I started up Firefox today. It's great to see that you guys are still supporting it.

I haven't been here for a while, has there been any updates on telega?

Hello,
at least I was able to find a workaround for the current transparency issue not based on Stylish. the fastdial image cache generated in %FF_profile%\fastdial\cache is the place where the magic happens. the thumbnails have the wrong "transparency" set. therefore I just replaced the cache with the original src pictures.

for example 3446c8b2f31b1f52159d5d8e7e22bd86 is a PNG thumbnail for my Gizmodo.com page and you just take the source file gizmodo.png and overwrite the cache file (keep the same hash), refresh fastdial page, done.

This problem is caused by the processing of the transparent cell in Firefox 4. So you are correct the snapshot produced of the logo plus cell background will be corrupted.

therefore I just replaced the cache with the original src pictures.

I understand.
The simplest is to retrun to Firefox 3.*.* and simply refresh your logos.That will make them transparent

Then return to Firefox 4
But do NOT refresh your logos !

Not ideal but it does save one having to mess around with the images in the Profile on an individual basis.

In the settings of Fast Dial 3.4 no checkboxes for "Visibility" and "Icon".

Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) amd-x64, Firefox 4.0, Fast Dial 3.4

Win+R
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
XXXXXXX.default
fastdial > cache
i renamed all the files (in cmd - sorta advanced) - added ".png" to the files
manually downloaded all the png's from the site and replaced each with the transparent one
renamed all (again in cmd) refreshed the browser (didnt have to restart it !!)
viola !!

if u want u can make two files in the catch folder to change the files for u - save u some trouble

to change the files to png:
ren *.* *.png

to change the files to original "format"
ren *.* *.

each command line u save in notepad under a different name +.bat at the end (like ToPNG.bat & ToOriginal.bat) and place the files in the catch folder
HOPE THIS HELPS !!

Hi guys,

For sure this is working since you're updating manually the thumbnail cache, this is what FD is supposed to do when refreshing the cache. The only difference is that the FD code is first downloading the file and resizing it in a hidden frame that does not preserve the alpha layer (under FF4 / Win7), this is done for a better cache management.
I could check whether we can implement a temporary workaround by deactivating this phase when the thumbnail is given explicitely (as an icon).

I tried Fast Dial for Firefox 4.0 but Search feature seems don't work.
I think if you can't fix this problem then you should remove it and keep fast dial fast with less feature, Speed Dial make me really sick because it really heavy, make Firefox become very slow. So I choose Fast Dial, fast and stable!

Thanks, sorry for my bad English : (

As you may be aware the search facility that you happen to like is also available in Firefox.
So I cannot agree with you that we should not offer Fast Dial as it is.

Help has been forthcoming for the Firefox 4.0 Version and we are pleased to be able to offer it.

Once the Firefox Bug is sorted, it is hoped that a number of other issues will be looked at

Many thanks

Thank you for reply, I hope you will compelete Fast Dial for Firefox 4.0 soon xD
Thank you for your addon, I really like it xD~~

And I hope Fast Dial can change Background more time without reset theme, when background is changed Fast Dial can't change it again, I must reset to defauft or create backup to change Fast Dial's background.

Have a nice day~
Best regards,
Cattleya

@jagauratin: yeah, I also downgrade to 4.0.1 because Speed Dial can't replace Fast Dial for me, it's slow, uses lot of CPU(90%) when hover on thummbnail.
