Hi, I would like to ask a question about one of the add-on's for Mozilla browser, it's about FVD Speed Dial. I did not save any speed dials I did have. it worked normally all day, and suddenly I cannot use it nor save my settings to import to another speed dial because it's disabled by Mozilla for security reasons I will attach a screenshot. Is there any way I can recover my speed dial? Are they located on my PC by any chance, I cannot find them in any Mozilla folders? Would be really great if you could help me with this.

Thank you. Violeta

The Start Page add-on that I was using blocked with the following message. Because the add-on blocked without warning I can't access website links that I bookmarked within said add-on. I understand it was due to security reasons, but that doesn't recover my lost links.

"Speed Dial [FVD] New Tab Page, 3D Start Page, Sync has been blocked for your protection. Why was it blocked?

This add-on violates Mozilla's Add-on Policies.

This add-on violates Mozilla's policies as search functionality provided or loaded by the add-on must not collect search terms or intercept searches that are going to a third-party search provider. The add-on has repeatedly violated these terms despite Mozilla explicitly pointing them out. What does this mean?

The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled and no longer usable.

When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.

Hi, I have been using FVD Speed Dial and created quite number of shortcuts for browsers. It was disabled without notified by Firefox. Anyway I can retrieve the link of shortcut I created? Or can I enable to FVD Speed Dial for a day for me to copy all the shortcuts? Thank you.

My firefox suddenly and without warning blocked my start page, the FVD speed-dial addon. I honestly do not care why it did, but how do I get my pages back? I mean I would have appreciated a warning so I can save my pages and links, FFS! And speed-dial also synchronizes these pages across my laptops and mobile, so I lost everything everywhere, because Firefox is an ass??? How do I get the addon back along with my pages and links?

And sure, I don't have to use Firefox if it behaves likes this, blocking my addons without a warning first!

Damn.

are there bookmarks associated with fvd speed dial? your abrupt disabiling of this add-on has caused me stress, because I rely on those speed dials. why was there no warning? it would have allowed me to save the web links that I use daily.

Apparently Mozilla disabled FVD speed dial for all users today. My speed dials were my link to business stuff I need.

Can anyone help me restore the dials or somehow transfer them so that I can find them again?

Thanks david

Hello,

My name is Marina. I'm user of Mozilla for a long time. I have saved all my working link in the tool Speed Dial. It was for 3 years. It all my work. Today I'm shocked and don't know how I can restart it. Could you please help me with this issue?

Please, why would you remove FVD Speed dial without first giving a warning so users can download their latest websites they have stored on it. that S__t is F______d up. What The F___ . some of those sites I had saved were hard to find the first damn time and now the whole set is f____ ing gone. I did not GIVE A DAMN if they shared data. I want my damn FVD Speed dial back or access to it to save my stuff first.

I find it totally unacceptable that you removed the tool I use THE MOST with out any opportunity save my tabs to export so I can still have them.

That arbitrary do it with no warning s__t is rude as f__c.

If you block my add-ons without notification or my permission I will block your browser permanently. FTD was the heartbeat of my internet experience, you may give me the security choice and I will decide but not you. After too many hours of setting up and keeping current you instantly wipe it out, obviously you don't care and we will not put up with your Suckerberg attitude. My many followers are already aware of what you did and now I'm overflooded with response. Fuckoff Firefox............

I've been using FVD Speed Dial Addon, plus its Everhelper Sync, to manage my Bookmarks: apparently, they're no longer supported by Firefox (last Update by Nimbus 2 years ago)! FVD was really convenient for Syncing & Saving my Bookmarks: what do you suggest I do, now? I don't want to lose all my Bookmarks!

My speed dial disappeared today. I have business logins saved by speed dial so I am a bit desperate. I have restarted both firefox and the computer. I think I was not home when speed dial disappeared. I dont understand computers very well, I have mac OS 11.2.3. I don't know whether firefox was updated without my knowledge today. I have time machine and regular backups.

You disabled my Speed Dial [FVD] extension, and now that I can't open that extension in Firefox, I can't export my settings. I NEED to open it up so I can export the hundreds of web pages I had stored in it.

How can I get my export TODAY???

I HAD 100's OF BOOKMARKS,,,,,,, NOW THEIR ALL GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOTTA BE GOD DAMN KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED FVD Speed Dial BACK, NOW!! RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM DISABLED WITH A HEAD INJURY AND MY MEMORY IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOME OF MY BOOKMARKS WERE TO MY DOCTORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEIR NOW GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF, I HAVE AN EMERGENCY I CANT GET IN TOUCH WITH SOME OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF, I DO NOT GET ALL MY BOOKMARKS BACK, YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM A LAWYER SOON (and im SURE a lawyer will LOVE to take a case for me, being disabled) IN FACT, THAT WILL BE MY FIRST PROJECT TOMORROW, FIND A LAWYER.

I am furious that this add-on has been summarily disabled. So much so that I'm thinking of going back to Safari. I have been using Speed Dial for years without any concerns whatsoever. Please reinstate support for this extension or I'm off!

Hi,

Firefox disabled Speed Dial bookmark Manager today, 11/23/2021, "due to security or stability issues".

I lost scores of bookmarks and folders!!!

How can I get my bookmarks back. ??

I am willing to install a new bookmark manager.

Thanks!

I have been using FVD Speed dial for several years. A couple weeks ago, I upgraded my EverHelper/Nimbus web account to paid so that I could sync and keep all my bookmarks since I lost them when my laptop crashed two weeks ago.

Today, I get a message from Firefox that FVD Speedial has been permanently disabled. I need my Speed dials back, and I need refund from somebody if I can't use the add-on anymore. It would be nice if Firefox would notify users ahead of time before unceremoniously blocking something as critical as this. I need to be able to access my speed dials so I can at least import them to some other app/add-on if necessary. I'd also like to know how to contact Nimbus if I need a refund.

I am furious that you disabled FVD Speed Dial without any kind of warning. I would have appreciated being given time to export by dials before losing them. Now, I'm screwed. WTF made you think this was a good idea?

I have been using Firefox for 20 years, except for a hiatus to Chrome when Firefox got too bloated. I've stuck with you recently even though I occasionally run into compatibility issues. I want to support you, but this may be the last straw. The plug in still works in other browsers. I may not come back if I leave again.

Please advise if there is a way to override the add-on being disabled at least long enough to export my dials.

Hi there,

The speed dial add-on has been blocked but I didn't know it was going to be blocked and therefore need a back up of all my links as it held the shortcuts to a number of businesses.

I'm happy to transfer this to another add on but need the links.

Please help.
