It would seem that drag and drop to scrolling pages stopped working in 2.22b.

Drag and Drop to Folders does not work in 2.22b

Problem resolved in 2.23b1

There seems to be a real problem with Fast Dial when using Tab Mix Plus.

This problem was posted in a thread here

Symptoms are really bad...

It would seem that Tab Mix Plus Version 0.3.8.2 resolves the matter

This problem was seen while using Firefox 3.6b1

The developer telega is unwell at the moment.

There have been a whole number of reports of problems with Fast Dial 2.22b/2.23b1 and Firefox 3.5/3.5.1

The symptoms are that the Fast Dial suddenly presents just a Blank Page with no cells visible.

If one looks in Bookmarks one discovers that all the bookmarks from the Fast Dial Root Folder (Fast Dial) have ended up in Unsorted Bookmarks.
The Fast Dial Folder seems to be populated by a random selection of bookmarks.

It is quite unclear what triggers this sudden transformation.

---

I would strongly recommend the regular backup of your Full Firefox Profile with FEBE as a way of safeguarding your Fast Dial (as well as your Firefox Profile).

---

It would seem that one can adopt different Approaches to resolving this problem, which is essentially a corruption of Bookmarks.[places.sqlite]

---

Approach 1

This is the method we have been recommending on this site as a result of feedback from users.
(see here and here)

Joe Blogs paraphrased this method very well on AMO

Fast Dial Lost Icons Fix

This is what you do,delete nothing.

Start Fire Fox.
Click Bookmarks.
Click organise bookmarks.
Click import and back-up.
Click restore
Choose the latest date when it was working, i.e Yesterday.

It's back now.
Like it never happened. ;-)

Thanks JoeBlogs

I have tested this method and it seems to work fine for restoring Fast Dial.

---

For a more detailed description of this same procedure please see here

---

Bookmarks are automatically backed up in more recent Versions of Firefox, so you should be able to find an earlier backup of Bookmarks, even though you yourself made no backup.
---

If on doing the above Fast Dial is still blank, the please see which folder in Bookmarks contains your Root Cells and if the Folder is called Fast Dial or your orignal Root Folder name, then please do the following:

Please see here

This worked for me in this situation.

---

For Russian users please see here

---

Approach 2

Used by Ria Klaassen here [for the more technically minded perhaps]

This essentially is the same as Approach 1 but uses a different and perhaps more elegant technique to arrive at the same end.

Quote:
I could solve the problem by deleting the file places.sqlite in my profile.
Then it imported automatically a bookmarks backup. Deleting places.sqlite will
make you lose your history.

For more details on how to do this please see here

---

I have tested this Method.
Works just fine
Fast Dial was back as before.

For a more detailed description from Mozilla about this whole procedure see here

If on doing the above Fast Dial is still blank, ( I experienced this once) then please see which folder in Bookmarks contains your Cells and if the Folder is called Fast Dial or your original Root Folder name, then please do the following:

Please see here

This worked for me in this very situation.

---

Approach 3 (found on AMO)

This involves copying all the Fast Dial bookmarks that have ended up in Unsorted Bookmarks (this seems to happen every time) into a new Fast Dial Folder.
Excellent and Very clear description

Please find here

(uploaded to Userlogos)

Many users have found this system works fine for them.
But for user simplicity my impression is that Approach 1 or 2 are less involved.

---

Approach 4

Others have found it sufficient to simply uninstall and reinstall Fast Dial.
But this is less common.

---

For users of XMarks (Previously Foxmarks) there is a detailed and helpful post on AMO.
I have uploaded it to Userlogos.
Please find here

---

In an effort to centralise this question in one thread, I am listing below links to reports of this problem.

The developer telega has tried to reproduce the problem without success.

All feedback most welcome, this needs sorting fast !!

AMO (Mozilla Addons)

There are many users with problems

Hello, if you are an user of firegesture and you want use Fast Dial with it :
Go in menus : Tools > Complementary Modules > FireGestures > Links > Add script, and write :

Name : Fast Dial

Script :
const URL = "chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html";
const IN_NEW_TAB = true;
const IN_BACKGROUND = false;
if (IN_NEW_TAB)
gBrowser.loadOneTab(URL, null, null, null, IN_BACKGROUND, false);
else
gBrowser.loadURI(URL);

Gesture : What you want ^^

Ok > Ok

Enjoy ;)

A Fast Dial user contacted Userlogos reporting that he could not open Fast Dial in a New Tab with CTRL-T.

see here

When he clicked on CTRL-T he got the AVG Yahoo search option instead.

It would seem that the AVG Security Toolbar Firefox Extension is responsible for this.

To resolve this problem please follow the instructions posted on the AVG Site here

A further post on a Mozilla Forum Page about this matter here

Many thanks

It would seem in Version 2.22b that sometimes if there is no throbber in the Toolbar, that for some reason this impedes Firefox opening from a link, such as there might be in email.

The bug was first reported on UL here

This does not seem to be a fully reprocuceable bug, so it may be caused by a contirbution from yet another element.

A number of users of 2.22b have experienced this error

At the moment it is unclear if it is a bug, or whether it is simply caused by users entering zero values by mistake.

---

This error will occur if a zero value is entered in the cell quantity field.

telega made the following comment in relation to this problem.

Check what values you have specified for thumbnails "Quantity" option in Preferences > General. I think you might put a zero value there. Currently I don't have another idea of why this might happen.

---

The first thing that can be done is to try and alter manually the quantity value in Preferences General.

You can either access Preferences by right clicking on Fast Dial,or alternatively going to Add-ons and selecting Options in Fast Dial.

---

If you find you cannot change the Quantity value in Preferences, then please try clicking on the reset defaults in Preferences/General and see if that clears the null value:

---

If for some reason that still does not work please try the following.

Resetting Fast Dial settings in about:config

---

So what we are trying to do is to remove the zero value that has somehow got into the cell size field.

---

Please check to see if any of the above has the desired effect.

---

Regarding uninstalling and reinstalling, it is not at all clear why this should resolve this particular problem.
So it is not highly recommmended as a solution to this problem.
But it did work for one user.

Might be worth trying uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of times if none of the above procedures have any effect.

Many thanks

Reports appeared on UL from user lili that the OKCupid Plugin impedes screenshots working in Fast Dial

Please see this thread

http://userlogos.org/node/8152

To download the OK Cupid Toolbar

here

This link is for research purposes only.
Download is not recommended.

---

Neither telega or myself have been able so far to reproduce the problems experienced by this user.

The reason for this is at this moment remains quite unclear.

Many thanks

Scrolling will not work in 2.22b if the Fixed setting is selected for cell size.
