I guess with current FD implementation there's no way to work around this. But why you want to keep FD open, it's the same as blank page.

I don't know, maybe bookmark is opened in Fast Dial tab because FD looks like an empty page to the browser.

BobRooney, I am not too sure that I understand your problem.
I wonder, do you make use of the FastDial Icon.
If you click on it it will open FastDial in a tab.
Would this be helpful to you, or do you know about this ?

Wow, I really like Fast Dial! I've got it on all of my workstations and monitor systems.

A couple options that would be nice:

- Per page refresh rate
- Randomizable refresh rate (so that not all the thumbnails refresh at the same time)

I don't want Fast Dial to open up in every new blank tab I open with Ctrl + T, I only want it to open when I want it to, how do I do that?

I have written your suggestion to my todo.

In Fast Dial preferences in "Show" section there's a checkbox "Thumbnails in new tabs", uncheck it. To open FD manually you can place FD toolbar button on browser's toolbar.

How do I put a background Image?

Open preferences, "Appearance" tab, there's a browse button for "Background image". If you're using it, but the image isn't shown, then either get latest FD version: http://telega.phpnet.us/fastdial/ or wait till it appears on addons.mozilla.org.

Can you add multiple pages to to single FD icon?
I have bookmark folder with a bunch of webcomics I like to open them all at once every day in the morning via "open all bookmarks in this folder in tabs" FF function. Would be really cool to have entire folder as one icon in FD.

Currently you can create folders in FD, by checking "Group" checkbox in thumbnail properties. However currently there's no way to open them all at once.

Would be cool to have the same parsing support used in FF homepage selection:
www.site1.com | www.site2.com | etc.

Hello,
great add-on!!!

How about enlarging the saved image about 30 percent (in a higher resolution) when you move your mouse cursor over it?

JeffT, do you know that you can left-click and hold mouse button to see zoomed image?

Thank you for that hint!

Hi there!
What a great addon!
I loved the option in Opera, but this one beats the one in Opera!
I have one suggestion.
Is it possible to make it optional that a clicked dialed link is being opened in a new tab (or window for that matter)?
Under settings for instance or as per link value.
That way i could have my Fast Dial page always as the first tab and i don't have to do some extra clicking to get the fast dial page again.

Regards!
André

Hi Andre,

There already is an option "Open in" in preferences with possible values "default/new tab/background tab/window".
