Great ...

However, the image quality is terrible.
The competition uses Java and the pic quality is excellent, I've enabled java but makes no difference to pic quality. Hopefully improved in future releases.


In addition ... ...

Latest version much improves image quality. (good work)

However, it's so annoying when the thumbnails automatically attempt to update themselves and fail, leaving a blank square, hopefully a later revision will fix this annoyance.

Overall Excellent ... ...


Current Version I'm using is 0.7.0.7

Seems much better this version. Almost all the niggles are sorted. The only one that still bothers me is the thumbnails sometimes vanish when trying to refresh themselves.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.0.6).

Java scaling is included since 0.7 .

To enable it, go to the Speed Dial settings panel, and in the "Thumbnails" tab, toggle the value of the "Use Java scaling (Firefor 2 only)" checkbox. From then on, thumbnails will have a higher quality.

For even more quality, consider enabling the "old thumbnail rendering" option, which is just before the Java one. That will increase the quality of the thumbnails even more.
