Review summary

Group Speed Dial is praised for reliable performance and extensive customization, great Firefox integration, and as a strong replacement for FVD Speed Dial. However, recurring issues temper enthusiasm: the pro/subscription model with ongoing costs (no lifetime option); reports of data loss or dials disappearing after updates; privacy concerns about data access and closed-source status; occasional compatibility problems with certain Firefox versions; and perceived poor developer responsiveness. Overall, it’s feature-rich and well-loved when it works, but subscription cost and reliability concerns are frequent drawbacks.

Pros

Smooth performance and extensive customization
Daily-use / favorite extension
Works well with Firefox and integrates reliably
Strong replacement for FVD Speed Dial
Active development and supportive user base

Cons

Pro subscription costs and ongoing renewal; no lifetime option
Data loss or dials disappearing after updates; reliability concerns
Privacy concerns about data access and closed-source status
Occasional compatibility problems with certain Firefox versions
Perceived poor developer responsiveness

2026-06-04	Ca*****	Great extension! But with a few caveats. 1. Favicons. You have to download them dial by dial. When you have over 1300 bookmarks/dials, this is a daunting task. Jyri Tuomisto's Bookdial extension downloaded all 1300 favicons in just a few seconds. (But it is irremediably outdated and no longer available. K-Ivan's current Visual Bookmarks extension does the same: thousands of favicons in seconds.) 2. Importing bookmarks. When you reimport bookmarks to update/replace existing dials, all previous dial formatting is gone, including all the favicons. All group formatting is also gone. You basically have to start with a clean state all over again. 3. Batch dial formatting. I have found no way to format all the dials as a whole. You have to format them one by one. 4. Batch group formatting. I also have found no way to format all the groups as a whole. You also have to format them one by one (another dauting task if you have over 40 groups. Other features are absolutely fantastic. For instance, the breadcrumb/group bar is excellent, and being able to open a group just by hovering over it is amazing. And the sheer amout of customization options is great. I hope you can address these issues. I'm sure it would benefit many users. As a minor incentive, I'm going to sign up for a 1-year pro subcription. (Have signed up for Pro, and the favicon problem disappeared. Great!)
