Mozilla Firefox Is a flexible browser builder that can be supplemented with various functionality using plug-ins. Among such functionality is an express panel of visual bookmarks for quick and convenient access to selected user sites.
Mozilla Firefox has a powerful enough functionality preinstalled for working with regular bookmarks, including the ability to quickly add favorite sites to the browser collection, sort bookmarks by subject folders, as well as export, import and create backups... But the preset visual bookmarks that open in a new browser tab leave much to be desired - the number of cells for selected sites is limited, and adding new thumbnails is possible only after removing the old ones from free cells. At the same time, free cells are filled only by automatically adjusting new sites in them from the browser history.
Let's look at more spectacular and practical express panels of visual bookmarks for the Fire Fox in the extension store. Let's take a look at the best ones.
5 best quick visual bookmark panels for Mozilla Firefox browser
How to complete the browser with various extensions, including specifically Mozilla Firefox, is described in the article "".
Top-PageThe Top-Page extension is a cross-platform solution that will surely interest those who constantly change browsers or computer devices.
The Top-Page.Ru web service offers a completely free service for storing custom bookmarks in the online organization of the express panel of website thumbnails.
Once you configure the express panel and organize your favorite sites on it, you can instantly access visual bookmarks from the window of any browser, on any device - be it a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. To do this, you just need to first register in the Top-Page.Ru web service, and then log in.
The express panel of visual bookmarks Top-Page is not the best design masterpiece, far from the most advanced functional product, nevertheless, there is a possibility to change the background image and adjust the number of thumbnails of selected sites in width.
To add a site to the visual Top-Page bookmarks, click on an empty cell with a plus sign and enter the web address. If you are too lazy to enter the name, you do not need to do it. The name will be generated automatically.
Another cross-platform option for organizing an express panel of visual bookmarks in the Mozilla Firefox browser is Atavi Bookmarks from the free Atavi.Com web service.
But these bookmarks, unlike all the other express panels presented in this review, are installed not from the Mozilla Firefox extension store, but from the Yandex Elements website.
Fast Dial is a customizable extension for Mozilla Firefox.
In its settings, the number of displayed cells of visual bookmarks on the page can be adjusted by setting any numerical value in width and length. The size of the tab cells themselves is also adjustable.
In Fast Dial settings
you can set your own background image for the express bar of visual bookmarks. You can also choose the design of the cells, the font of the inscriptions and other subtleties of design.
To add a new visual bookmark, click an empty cell and enter the web address of the selected site. Each visual tab can choose its own logo, as well as assign hotkeys for shortcuts.
Fast Dial is one of the most beautiful express visual bookmark panels in the Mozilla Firefox Extension Store.
But, at the same time, it is somewhat inferior to the next participant in the review - the express panel of visual bookmarks FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial.
FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDialFVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial is, perhaps, the most beautiful, most effective, most functional, most customizable express visual bookmark panel for Mozilla Firefox.
But, along with this, and the most ponderous.
The effects and functionality of the extension can slow down the browser on weak computer devices. Alas, you always have to sacrifice something.
FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial contains a lot of settings, thanks to which the design and organization of the express panel can be finely tuned to your taste - choose a beautiful background image, customize the font of the labels, set the transparency of buttons, specify the size of the cells, etc.
FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial allows you to organize visual bookmarks by thematic groups, thereby preventing cluttering of the express panel with bookmarks. In this case, a group of popular bookmarks from regularly visited sites is generated automatically. Switching between groups is very convenient, their links are neatly lined up at the top of the express panel.
To add a new visual bookmark, we traditionally press an empty cell with a plus sign on the express panel, enter the website address, we can assign a group, a title and a picture from among the proposed ones for the bookmark.
Despite the fact that FVD Speed \u200b\u200bDial is far from being an accomplice to the performance of Mozilla Firefox, the advantages of this express panel of visual bookmarks are obvious - beauty will save the world.
Users of low-power netbooks and old PC assemblies can, for example, abandon the cumbersome wallpaper, leaving the preset background of the express panel white so as not to burden the browser.
Hello!
This post is spontaneous. More precisely, not planned ...
I get a lot of comments on the article
I try to answer some questions immediately in the comments. Sometimes I make additions right in the article. In one of these additions, I wrote that I had found a replacement for the old (new) Yandex visual bookmarks and attached another video. Such a small overview of the functions and design of the Speed \u200b\u200bDial extension.
Sergey asked a question in the comments: “ Can I save these bookmarks somehow? I didn't understand something. "
Thank you for your question ... I answer specifically to Sergey, as well as everyone else who has not figured out sync setting bookmarks for Chrome Speed \u200b\u200bDial.
And this is how we set visual bookmarks for Chrome Speed \u200b\u200bDial - New Tab Page, 3D, Sync... Now we need to open the settings panel in the upper right corner, and click on the "sync" icon
After that, we are transferred to the general settings, to the synchronization tab.
Here we are offered to install another browser extension that will sync and save our bookmarks. Click "Install from Chrome Web Store"
Now we find ourselves in the Chrome store. Directly to the page with the required extension Ever Sync.
Install Ever Sync:
After installing Ever Sync, another icon appears in our browser. This is a quick access to syncing our visual bookmarks. This is how it looks:
We click on it, and we are thrown into the synchronization settings.
For Speed \u200b\u200bDial to be saved and synchronized, we need create an account with Ever Sync.
If you have an account with Google + then everything is much simpler. You just click “Sign in with Google”. That is, go under your account.
If you do not have Google mail, then you need to go through a simple registration. Enter address his mail, create a password and enter the captcha.
Have you filled in everything? OK. Then click "Register"
After registration is completed, we go under our mail (which we entered during registration) and get into the menu.
The Ever Sync extension can synchronize and save not only Speed \u200b\u200bDial bookmarks, but also standardgoogle Chrome browser bookmarks (favorites).
(I did not use this function and did not test it. Because, it seems, if you enable synchronization of regular bookmarks, they will be deleted from the browser. I did not understand for sure)
Let's get back to saving visual bookmarks. Go to the SpeedDial tab:
We need to click on the middle button Overwrite server data - which translates as - overwrite the server data.
Click “Upload” and copy the data from our computer to the server.
We will be asked if we are really ready to do this? We say - "Yes"
This procedure must be performed only after those cases when you will log out of your account, and then log in again. There is no automatic logout, so you often don't have to.
When we click “Ok”, the first synchronization will take place. After 3 green check marks light up, the window will automatically close.
All. The initial settings are now complete.
Now you can go to the settings and ordering of our bookmarks.
SpeedDials do not sync on their own, so from time to time you need to do it yourself.
You will see three green check marks. This means that your changes have been saved to the server.
Everything, you can sleep well!
Now if you suddenly reinstalled Google chrome or demolished and re-installed operating system, then just install two extensions Speed \u200b\u200bDial and Ever Sync.
In Ever Sync, go to your account and click “Download” on the SpeedDial tab
And all your saved sites are returned to their places.
In such a non-tricky way, Chrome Speed \u200b\u200bDial browser bookmarks are synchronized and saved.
That's all for today.
