FD 2.11 stealing "home page" and "any external link/shortcut" that opens Firefox
Alexander —Sun, 09/28/2008 - 11:50
Hello !
I'm experiencing a very big issue with this great addon
Problem nº 1 - Doesn't mather how I set up the way Firefox starts, only FD appears, or FD plus last session tabs
Problem nº 2 - If I click on any external link or shortcut that opens Firefox, only FD appears, so I have to go back to the link/shortcut and click it again to open it in a new tab, than closing the FD tab.
I guess others must have been experiencing the same problem, as we live in the same world.
My OS is a Windows XP Pro SP3 and I also have these addons installed in a Firefox 3.0.2:
DownThemAll 1.0.3, FireGestures 1.1.5, IE Tab 1.5.20080823, Stylish 0.5.7 and Surf Canyon 1.1.3
Any help is wellcome, thanks

Submitted by Alexander on Fri, 10/10/2008 - 10:28Is there anybody to give us an official word about these behavior?
Is it normal?
Are you working on it for next releases?
I don't want to give-up on FD so please a comment would be apreciated.
Thanks

Please could you confirm that your problem is occurring with Fast Dial Version 2.11.0.
Also please could you clarify the exact nature of the problem that you are experiencing.
---------
If you disable all your other extensions can you confirm that this same FD problem continues to occur ?

Many thanks.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 14:11Same problem here, Firefox set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Instead I get one or two tabs with just FD showing.
Uninstalled and reinstalled and for the moment the problem has gone away.
Showing FD as the homepage should be an option
Submitted by DaveF (not verified) on Tue, 11/18/2008 - 21:55I don't always want FD as my homepage but sometimes prefer a specific single page. I don't like FD hijacking my homepage every time.
Is there a way to make this an option so the user gets to decide whether they want FD to be the homepage, or not.
--------------
I also like using FD for the autohide feature of the toolbar & navigation bar and would like to see options to select/deselect each of these as well as the bookmarks bar.
Thank you!

Tools>Options.
Click on "Home" at the top.
In the startup area, there is a dropdown list.
Click on the "Show my homepage" button.
Type in a URL for your homepage.
That page will be shown when you start Firefox, or when you click the "Home" button.
