- Rated 4 out of 5by schaloemche, 7 years agoFür mich die beste App für Firefox mit einem kleinen Makel:
Nach der Installation konnte ich den Ort nicht ändern, da es Probleme mit Google Maps gab.
Auf einem anderen Endgerät hatte ich die Einstellungen aus einer älteren Version 4.11 gesichert.
Diese Sicherung habe ich dann in die Neuinstallation Version 4.19 geladen - und siehe da es funktioniert wieder.
Trotz des Makels absolut empfehlenswert, Danke. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14190720, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by LostPacket, 7 years agoNice extension, thank you.
I am seeing one strange issue though. Whatever location I pick, radar screen tends to display it not centered, but towards the lower edge of the image. Would it be possible to allow manual configuration of radar offsets (which would be useful to account for prevailing winds and such)? Ideally, also user-definable zoom?Developer response

The only problem is that a yellow warning keeps popping up on the top of the browser windows saying it's slowing down Firefox. I had to disable it to stop it from happening. This has just been the last week or so, before that it was working brilliantly! Firefox updated, perhaps there is a conflict now?Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Richard, 7 years agoNot as good as when it fitted on the status bar but the author isn't at fault for that.
I like that it's unobtrusive but can get the details easily and it uses sources that go down to smaller areas than just major cities.
The author is very responsive and fixed an issue reported within 24 (12) hours so I've deleted previous review to put this in.
Heartily recommend this.
(Now where do I put the icon? Which corner is best for me?) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13299027, 8 years agoI have loved ForecastFox from the very beginning (5 stars). I'm sad that the Mozilla developers have made stupid decisions that have prevented us from enjoying this wonderful add-on completely (2 stars, not your fault!). You created something really great. I will try to get used to the new version. Thanks for everything.
[EDIT] I can't find anywhere to comment on this page! https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/
Mozilla, are you listening? Don't become evil, like Google did! Let us decide for ourselves what we want and need. Do not penalize perfectly good addons like ForecastFox because you feel the need to impose useless and unwanted changes on us, the users. - Rated 4 out of 5by Idaho Jim, 8 years agoI may be an older stick in the mud as preferred the Add-On bar method. Was not obtrusive and didn't have some button floating around to get in the way of normal mouse movement.
Currently this add-on seems to be for a left handed person. Would be better if that floating icon had options to be removed or relocated elsewhere.
As it is the right-hand side is an annoying area. Why not have the option to put it on the far left-hand side? Rarely does my mouse go there, and on most topic pages and social media the left side would make more sense.
Or better yet, Firefox still has ITS OWN Add-On Toolbar under View > Toolbars. If that icon could be moved to there, or to run horizontally across there, uniformly (instead of the current staggered formation) that would be worthy of itself.
Firefox already had an icon with a Sun, showed 86°, so added that to Firefox's Add-On Bar, which gives me 6 days of forecast. Am guessing Firefox sees an Accuweather link so it added that option. Still, the Umbrella icon sits on the right-side, and no way to move it anywhere on the page to some other location - like the upper-left for instance, or in another bar.
Still, the Forecast Fox still thrives and gives us an option, even if we do not like it, to see the weather on demand. Me, I would MUCH RATHER have it in on Add-On or Extra Tool Bar and displayed horizontally all the time, that can be glanced at, and not be in the way of my other tasks.
I ride a pedal-powered vehicle and I want to know what days look the best for a local or distance ride, or plan my field related work accordingly, and on the fly. Is why I like to see at least 4 days in advance what the weather is going to look like when I have Firefox loaded.
Since this option is not inherently available, cannot give it the 5 stars I would have if it could be more functionally usable as a passive interface - rather than invoked one. - Rated 4 out of 5by eroock, 8 years ago... the expanded version could sit on the New Addon Bar (like the old Forecast Fox did) where it wouldn't block the text in the bottom part of the screen. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-add-on-bar/

posted 8 years agoNew Add-on Bar - it is XUL-technology
New Add-on Bar - will die in November like all other xul-addons - Rated 4 out of 5by Faculty Row Spam, 8 years agoThanks for this extension, it's the best weather extension, very simple and easy for using it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by mike, 8 years agoI like it, is handy and provides the needed info, but, if Firefox will close support for the XUL, is it possible to have this add-on on some toolbar at least? I don't like it injecting elements in almost any page I open. This is NOT securely because could be used to track user's activity, for instance.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13116674, 8 years agoClicking on the radar in the status bar takes me to the US National radar rather than to my local radar. It used to bring up my local radar. Please bring this one-click functionality back. I don't want to have to drill down to get to my local radar and weather forecast.
