Display the contents of a bookmark folder as thumbnails with title every time the user opens a new tab.
Bookmark Dial Extension
Thumbnails
----------
By default, thumbnails are arranged and sized (up to a maximum size) to be as big as possible while covering as much space as possible. You can drag and drop them to change the order.
They are generated from a snapshot of the visible area of a bookmarked webpage and stored in the browser. If there is no thumbnail available yet a snapshot is taken once the page has been loaded in the currently active tab. There is also a button in the popup opened from the toolbar icon to create a new snapshot. That allows you to arrange the visible area of the page by scrolling or resizing the window to capture exactly what you want.
Getting Started
---------------
Select a bookmark folder and check available settings in the popup opened from the toolbar icon or from the extension page in your browser's extension manager. Open a new tab.
Customisation
-------------
You can set a background colour and/or image (including sizing) in the preferences. There is also a text field to provide custom CSS.
Known Issues
------------
- if a bookmark redirects to another page, no thumbnail will be generated as the its URL will not match the page in the currently active tab
- special URLs like about: chrome: file: etc. can cause problems due to limitations in the webextension API
- Firefox:
- color chooser and file chooser close the popup - to change settings using them, go to the extension page in your browser's extension manager
- compatibility issues with [New Tab Override
extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/)
