User reviews

Users generally appreciate Speed Dial for its simplicity, convenience, and reliable bookmark management. However, multiple reviews report problems with the add-on forcing search engine changes, difficulties in adding or managing tiles, loss of data after reinstalling Firefox without clear recovery methods, and issues with preview images not displaying properly. These recurring concerns impact the overall user experience despite the extension's popularity and ease of use.

Pros

Simple layout and easy to use
Effective at managing bookmarks with speed and convenience
Has been reliable and appreciated by users over several years
Allows customization like background pictures and search engine options

Cons

Attempts to change the default search engine without user permission
Issues with adding or managing tiles, sometimes stops allowing new tiles
Loss of speed dial data after Firefox reinstall, with unclear recovery options
Image previews not displaying properly, only showing titles without images

Recent reviews

Increase a resolution of tiles. Better yet, give a choice of tile resolution. It would also be great to have a delay setting for creating previews. Many sites need time to load

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Speed Dial requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Speed Dial has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
