I like Speed Dial and like creating work good from Opera. I adhere to the trend of Opera very that 7 year. I believe in finally Opera will reach the goal.

Isn’t calling this FF extension “Speed Dial” a bit risky though, as on the Opera homepage it shows that “Speed Dial” is a trademark of Opera?

i tried those two ff extentions (showcase & ff speed dial) just now, and to be frank, i liked them a lot, ff speed dial is very similar to opera’s one (also pages are limited to 9 like opera’s), showcase is exactly the page switcher opera needs, very neat, and opera is much more serious about tabed browsing across huge sessions
if this is only the difference between the two browsers, i think i would prefer ff.
while opera team really inovate, firefox has the extentions capability, and lets every one the oportunity to make his own extention, thus work go in parallel and feature like this don’t disturb firefox team to be implemented.
i think opera take a very huge overload to compete ff and ie with their extentios and toolbar, and even konqueror has his plugin from the kde.
i think if opera implemented extentions soon (like Adrian Lee suggested), it will be the fastest browser … to gain marketshare

@decimal
2.12 ?!!?
from where did you get it ?
the first ever i heard about was 3.21, (you can find it here: http://arc.opera.com/pub/opera/win/321/french/), but even that wasn’t the first i used, when i heard about opera the first time it was version ~5.x (windows also)
but the opera musiumitself don’t have your version!!
or you are working for opera long time ago and that was an alpha ?
another option before i get mad, you may edited the browser identification yourself ?

I installed the extension and I can say that it should be renamed to just “Dial” coz there is nothing speedy about it. Besides the fact that it looks not as nice as Opera’s implementation, it is just on the whole laggier; laggy to open speed dial, laggy to click on the bookmark and go to the page (even when using the CTRL+number shortcut) but that just might be firefox’s fault and not the add-on’s. It also took me awhile to realise that u can’t add pages to the speed dial but clicking on the number but have to right click on a tab or page and add it there. I applaud the author’s effort, but it’s not a substitute for opera’s speed dial.

Heh, as soon as I tried Speed Dial I made a comment to some people at work that’d it’d be the next Opera feature to get an FF extension.

They reckoned they couldn’t see the point in it at the time (they are all FF fans) but I’ll be amused if any of them install the extension

lol
Maybe Opera comes in Future as an addon for Firefox? No, Opera is too big. First the other way around.
