Quick Dial NG
Changelog

What's new

Every release, newest first. The same notes are on GitHub releases and Firefox Add-ons.

  1. 0.4.1

    Latest
    • First version on Firefox Add-ons.
    • New monochrome toolbar icon that follows Firefox's light or dark theme.
    • Refresh loads the page in a sandbox, so none of its scripts run.

  2. 0.4.0

    • Themes. A new Themes tab changes the whole look at once: background colour, page margin, tile and title styles and the accent colour. Use tries a theme in Settings; Apply or OK puts it on the dial.
    • Two built-in themes: Classic, the original look, and Anori, with a deep green page, frosted-glass tiles and titles over the pictures.
    • Save the current look as a theme, export any theme to a .json file and import themes from others. Backups include themes.
    • New style settings: background opacity and glass blur, tile shadows, hover effects (smooth, lift or grow), title font, bold titles and titles over the picture.
    • New Accent colour for Settings, Properties and the dialogs, in light and dark mode.

  3. 0.3.5

    • New look for Settings and tile Properties, in light and dark: clear tabs and sections, a live preview of the tile style, image previews, drag-and-drop or paste for pictures, and an Apply button that lights up only with unsaved changes.
    • New bookmark, New folder and Delete open in-page dialogs; New bookmark checks the address.
    • Quick Dial NG is now Firefox's home page: the start tab loads about 1.3 s sooner. This replaces the "Start page delay" setting.
    • Fixes: an error when changing rows or columns; folder pictures saved in a form the dial couldn't show.

  4. 0.3.4

    • Automatic updates: Firefox finds new versions by itself.

  5. 0.3.3

    • No white flash at startup: the page shows your background colour right away and draws the tiles as soon as settings are loaded.

  6. 0.3.2

    • Cached pictures appear in the first frame instead of popping in.
    • Fixed syncing on a brand-new profile without a Quick Dial folder.

  7. 0.3.1

    • Menus and window titles say Quick Dial NG, so it can be told apart from the original.

  8. 0.3.0

    • Import an export from the original Quick Dial: bookmarks are rebuilt and cell positions kept.
    • Import entry in the settings page.

  9. 0.2.0

    • First Quick Dial NG release, a fork of Quick Dial by MatMoul.
    • Tile pictures stored separately as WebP instead of inline PNG, so storage is much smaller and faster to read.
    • Data is saved only when something actually changed.
