Firefox speed dial addon

by Jackie on May 10, 2007

No GravatarThe latest version of the Opera browser brought with it a great new feature called ’speed dial’. What that does is allow you to bookmark 9 sites all within the speed dial tab, and Opera gives you a graphical representation of those sites that you assigned to each ‘dial’. There’s a screenshot here. It looks very slick and is a great tool, very handy for keeping those oft visited sites at your fingertips.

Firefox obviously lacks this feature, but not any more! Firefox users now have the speed dial addon. Though not nearly as well presented as it is in Opera, it does what it says in the tin. It’s been working well enough for me anyway. I do use Opera too (it seems to perform a lot better on my iMac for a start), I can’t get away from Firefox and all its addons, so it’s nice to be able to use this whichever browser I’m in.

Zenith, which particular Firefox addons would you like to see in the Opera browser?

We’re always looking for new functionality and enhancements to add. :)

Well it would be nice if ANY addon could be used if I’m honest. There are always new sites and services springing up that can add stuff via browser extensions (latest example for me being http://cluztr.com ).

I do love Opera, and still use it a fair bit, but I’d use it lots more if it had a more open architecture for extensions.

And thanks for stopping by! :)
