<h1>Bookmark Dial has changed!</h1>
<p>
Firefox has been working on a new extension API for a while which
is to replace all other existing APIs in Firefox 57. Migrating
Bookmark Dial to the new API required some changes - most notably:
<ul>
<li>
New tab page is always replaced by Bookmark Dial now as
there is no way to make this optional.
</li>
<li>
Updates outside of Bookmark Dial are now reflected
immediately which allowed me to remove custom dialogues.
Use the built-in keyboard shortcuts, menu entries and
buttons for bookmark handling instead.
</li>
<li>
Thumbnails cannot be generated in the background anymore.
Instead thumbnails are generated from a snapshot of the
visible area of a webpage that is taken the first time a
bookmark from the configured bookmark folder is open in the
currently active tab. There is also a button in the popup
opened from the toolbar icon that allows you to create a
new snapshot (disabled for unknown URLs). The latter allows
you to capture the part of a webpage that you want as you
can scroll and resize the window before taking the
snapshot. Overall you have more control over thumbnail
generation but you loose some convenience.
</li>
</ul>
