Warning! Fast Dial automatically auto hides the taskbar in Firefox. There is no way of changing the behaviour and no help to explain what is happening or even why the developer decided to impose his whim on all users. Don't waste 30 minutes as I did installing, disabling uninstalling and searching the internet for a cure.

Boo
Upgraded to the latest release without reading the reviews....BIG MISTAKE. Tried to go back to earlier version but can't figure out the last release that works properly. This was my favorite add-on but I will not be using it anymore. DO NOT UPGRADE. I wasn't even able to use firefox at all with it installed .

Address Bar is useless
The concept was great however it becomes useless to type anything in the address bar and how the hell else are you supposed to go to new sites. I removed it !! It would be nice to have a tab that shows your favorite sites but then you can still type in the address bar.

causes firefox 3.0.3 to crash.. uninstalled
by robsinbc on November 2, 2008

Good idea but has a few problems. Pages will lose the bookmark and link, only to reappear later. Also the tiles move about the page on occasion which is irritating. Sometimes if it cant find the tile it will duplicate another. Needs some work

Good idea but it doesnt work, thumbnails change places or dissapear sometimes and refresh doesnt work properly.
by jazzrocker on October 23, 2008
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I love this add on. So why am I giving it only three stars? Because EVERY UPDATE causes my thumbnails to be resorted and reset. I then have to take time to go back and unscrew things. Either it's put completely random bookmarks into the thumbs (FF on my WinXP machine) or it's left three of them blank (FF on my Mac OS:X box.) Either way, it's a pain in the butt, so I will no longer update this otherwise excellent add on.

What happened?
by Bioran23 on September 26, 2008
I loved using this add-on, but the latest update made it all my bookmarks scrambled and disappears randomly!
---------------------------
Oh, dear. This would have been fun to use but my bookmarks are now all mixed up!
by sexyyellow on September 26, 2008

Used to love it, now it scrambled
I'm not surprised that somebody else has got the same trouble as me. Oh God, do I have to remove it completely then? It sabotages my bookmarks!

bugssss!!
this new version scrambles everything after a while!! i'll going back to the older version...
-------------------------------
by Gary Weberg on September 22, 2008 (see this user's previous comment at the end)
Used to be great. Now it scrambles my pages and some are gone. Whoever is making updates isn't checking to see how they affect the user.
-------------------------------
by BugMeNot33 on September 21, 2008
Once again, against my better judgment, I tried the new version and sure enough lost everything. My God man! Do you know what you are doing ?? Do you not try the app. yourself before u make it available. What an idiot. I'm done.

previous comment by same user for earlier version
Thanks for nothing

Version 2.9
-------------------------------
by Chris Boyd on September 18, 2008
This was a fantastic Add-on until the 2.9 update, which somehow manages to keep two sets of bookmarks on my panel that change each time I load Firefox. This version is extremely buggy.

bookmarks lost on update and close of programme
by svs777 on September 18, 2008
I really liked this little app until a I upgraded to 2.9 and all my bookmarks where lost. I re-entered them and they were lost again on shutting down firefox.
I upgraded to 2.11 and still have the same problem. Will be uninstalling this and looking for something else.

Fast Dial is the BOMB
by Gary Weberg on March 28, 2008
I've been using Fast Dial for awhile now, and the more I use it the more I like it. I didn't "get it" when I first tried using it, now it's an indispensable part of my daily use of Firefox. When I click on the Fast Dial icon, it opens a new tab (or window) with the various websites that I have added to the Fast Dial tab. You can easily organize the order in which they display by dragging the web page images around on the page. Using a 7 x 4 format I have all of my most used sites in the top row, and the remaining three rows I have arranged by category. But you can arrange them any way you want. Having an image to refer to rather than using the bookmarks dropdown menu or AIOS sidebar (which I also use) allows me to free up more screen space for viewing the website. Give it a try after a couple of weeks using it, you'll never give it up.
