Rated 5 out of 5 stars

xatsmann - I had the same problem, and I think its because I'm using tabmixplus. If you are too then try this:

Open TabMixPlus options, Go to the "Events" section and the "Tab Opening" tab. In the "Load on new tabs" dropdown select "User Location" and in the location box put "chrome://speeddial/content". New tabs now have the speed dial in them.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.1).
