Where in the world is the preferances?

I can't find the preferences. Also why can't I drag and drop bookmarks into Fast Dial like I can in Opera?
When I right click on the fast dial all I get is an arrow up and an arrow down. Nothing else. Even when the cell is full...

Right click on Fast Dial page should bring up a context menu with Preferences as an Option
What Version of Fast Dial are you using ?
Can you post a picture ?
If your really stuck you can go to Tools/Addons
Find Fast Dial and click on Options
But this should not be necessary
Many thanks

I wonder what is going on.
Have never seen anything like this before.
When did things start behaving in this manner ?
It would seem that something is upsetting your display.
But what ?
Have you tried loading Fast Dial into a new Firefox profile and seeing if you can reproduce this behaviour ?
Also are you getting any errors in the Error Console ?
Many thanks

Good news
Yes adding to Fast Dial
Right click on the Web page you want to add to Fast Dial and then chose where you want to put it.
If you have any groups/folders in Fast Dial you can save directly to them, as they will be visible as well.
