SpeedDial : enables speed dial feature in firefox.

Even though my default browser is firefox I use Opera and chrome simultaneously. Opera and chrome have this awesome feature that when we open a new tab it comes up with a page which has several thumbnails providing easy access to web pages. Whereas firfox lacks this feature by default and hope that they add it soon instead of opening a blank tab when we click a new tab icon or menu item.

SpeedDial is an Add-On designed specifically for this purpose. having it installed user is able to access thumbnail view of their favorites instantly without digging for bookmarks.

Speed Dial will be automatically loaded in blank new windows. It can also load in blank new tabs. To configure this, and other options, use the extension settings panel.
