Speed Dial - A Firefox Extension

For those people who are familiar with the Opera browser, Speed Dial is a familiar feature. Speed Dial is a Firefox extension that gives a graphic presentation of selected, most used bookmarks:

“With Speed Dial, you can easily access your most used websites. To show the Speed Dial tab, use the Speed Dial button (which can be added to the toolbar), or enter “chrome://speeddial/content” in your location bar.”

With Speed Dial, it is possible to check to see if those selected favorite pages have changed. The default layout is a three by three design. The options, however, allow an easy change to an extended layout. A five by five setting, for example, allows quick access to these favorite bookmarks and still allows enough graphics to show whether the page has changed since the last visit. This add-on is very well done; kudos to Josep del Rio for an excellent effort.
