Hi!
I resolved the transparency bug, but only for logos, not for websites snapshots.
It works fine with Win7/Ubuntu 11.04 and FF5, should be work with other versions.

Anyone interested?

Please do tell.

You can download it from here. I named it fastdial 3.5b1_1, hope the original developers doesn't angry for this. They can use it, and rename it as they want.
It just a little modification in snapshot.js, where it scale the image and save to ff cache.
Hope it working.

I'm not quite sure what just happened, but I still see my placemarks with the URLS, but the layout is different (switched around) and I lost the icons I had selected previously for each site.

Thank you for your feedback

I regret you are having your problems

I am unclear what is happening.

It sounds to me as if Fast Dial is not in the correct Home page in Bookmarks

But as the Fast Dial make home is missing from the context menu you cannot check

Have you chacked your Sort settings in Preferences

Like WWS (on 6/25) I tried all means to bring FD3.5 to work, but FD3.5 "disapeared" under Firefox 5 (WinXP). I did also move the FD icon as he did, but with my FF5 it did not work - the icon apears semitransparent and even clik on it brings FD not to work. In my bookmarks is still Fast Dial containing all previous links. I did not try the FD-beta version yet for some comments mention that it does not help. Who knows the solution? When will be FD3.5 in FF5 compatible form?

To all that are complaining that FD is not working with Firefox 5; use this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1464322/fastdial-3.5b1_1.xpi as supplied by c-shark. It DOES work.

Update from rlebrette, present firefox developer

I'm currently very busy, but I'm following the feedback on userlogos.org
I've not yet spent time to look at this fix, but related to the description I think it's a more a workaround than a fix. But, since it solves the main problem (websites snapshot with transparent background are not so usual), I think that I'm going to integrate it.
On another side, I've done several tests on different platforms & versions and when starting from a clean environment FD is working fine. But I've detected problems when adding some other extensions, I think there's some collision somewhere, this my current focus.
I'm going to check what c-shark has done, and integrate it. I will promote this version as the stable version as soon as possible.
I will respond to him and others

Many thanks

Rlebrette

There has been some interest in uploading the beta, or new version of it to AMO but not as a Beta, but as a current Version

This would then help resolve any confusion regarding previously uploaded Version

Please see here

Any thoughts ?

Yes, I'm only replaced the drawWindow() function with drawImage() where the image is saved, while I keep the original version where it captures a website.
