My Reviews
Speed Dial
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Once you get used to the speeddial, it's really hard to be just satisfied with a single homepage. I'm a very visual person so instead of names, I remember how a site looks, so this is just perfect tool for site recognition. I have 6 panels, with 15 sites each, so this almost serves as a secondary bookmark utility. You can even put a picture URL in the URL entry, so each cell can be made into a "gadget-like" utility, updating whenever the picture changes. I particularly like it for using to see if I have a new mail in my hotmail and gmail acounts, but I also use it for my local weather report, including the air quality graph. No other extension could possible do that.
NOTE: The defaults of the program are meant to work with standard 4:3 screen, so if you have a widescreen you might be a bit put off, but it's very easy to change. Just go to the Advanced Options of Speeddial, then Sizes panel, then under Width Modifier change it to 100% "of the available size". Voila! Now the cells will cover your entire screen.

Launchy
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Good but hasn't been updated in a looong time, and has major bugs, such as the inability to send links to applications.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.2.0).DownThemAll!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If you can't get the new version to work, try the latest nightly build which you can find here:

It also has a link to older builds.
