One thing: You might be running Windoze, and I'm running my Firefox in Kubuntu 6.10 Linux; that may make a difference. I'm going to post this on the forum and hopefully the author will see it.

As I said before, if you customise your menu and drag the speed dial icon from the large box up to your menu and then CLICK THE ICON (NOT the down arrow) then you should get a (sort of) web page with all 9 items and those you have allocated will be filled with a small picture of the site. Clicking any of these pictures will load the site. I assure you it workd, and if you want to see mine you can open the following web site (http://www.gbtamc.co.uk/speed) where I have uploaded a screen capture named speeddial.jpg which you should be able to open by clicking it. This is has been reduced in size for quicker loading. Dave.

No, I don't get any previews in any of the speed dial boxes; there are small icons for each, and the name of the assigned site, but no more. I looked at the speed dial preferences and don't see anything about enabling previews; closest thing is an option to set the size of the boxes. There are also options to load in new windows or tabs, and shortcut options. Nothing else, and nothing I see in the Firefox preferences or the toolbar menus. Where do I look? Previews a la Opera would be helpful but I can live without. In faith, Dave Viva Texas Gordon: OK, sorry I misunderstood.

Gordon, the speed dial works for me and I can assign/click pages for download. But the squares don't preview the pages like Opera does. I'm assuming you intend to add that feature (even if only to take up the empty space)? Otherwise it might be better to have very small frames with the pagename inside rather than in the titlebar? But it's a very handy add-on; most of the add-ons available aren't worth it but speed dial is.
