New in version 2.x:
- Works only in Firefox 3
- Fast Dial bookmarks are stored as Firefox bookmarks (Bookmark Menui > Fast Dial subfolder). Thus it's possible to manage Fast Dial bookmarks using Firefox Bookmark Manager and Bookmark Sidebar.
- Every folder (group) has its own URL. Thus it's possible to open several different folders in different tabs simultaneously, which wasn't possible in FD 1.x. Folder thumbnails display folder contents.
- Appearance can be specified for each folder individulally.
- Every thumbnail can have arbitrary keyboard shortcut
- Maximum 3 thumbnails are refreshed simultaneously, thus preventing loading failures on slow internet connections.
- Conflict with WebDeveloper extension is fixed.
