I have had SpeedDial for about a year now and it seemed to work well - but then it threw a wobbler and hasn't recovered! Loosing patience now and will bin both it and Firefox if it doesn't stabilise soon. Have been through all the options - cleared history and cache, refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled FF and it continues to refresh all the saved dials repeatedly - doesn't stop. In consequence, Firefox runs very, very slowly and laptop freezes. Fred McD suggests contacting Speed Dial support - but haven't tracked it down - where is it and are they any good? Thank you.

You should check with speed dial support.

Are you having any other issues?

Hello   Ray,

Bin Firefox because an extension doesn't work the way it should ?   Of course you don't mean that, do you ?
Firefox merely hosts these add-ons as a service to users .....

You can send the developer an email   -   see under   "More information" <big>→</big> "Support Email" :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial-lite/

In case you use this "Speed Dial":

Thanks for taking the trouble to respond to my problem - as I said in a reply somewhere, support seemed to be non-existant and I didn't find any - just your reply. However I came back to the PC after a few days and was looking at the 'Global Options' for SpeedDial when I noticed Speed Dial preview setings. An extension update had set this to 'Set all manual to Auto Thumbnails' - reset this - 'Turn off Auto Update' and the extension works as it should i.e. Firefox speed is restored and the extension isn't continuously updating all the dials of which I have about 90. See attached. PC and Firefox browser operation restored to normality thank goodness!
