Re: [H] Speed dial
I think this is what you want for Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites You can pin a new site, remove sites, or rearrange as much as you want. The source doesn't even have to be a bookmark - drag the site icon from the address bar into a new tab window and you can add a site that way too.
