- Rated 4 out of 5by Andyross, 7 years agoI have used this for years, and am glad it is still supported and was updated to handle the new WebEx format. I do only have one issue with this current version 6.0: It sometimes doesn't seem to display the flag and info and just shows a generic green globe. I almost wonder if the page renders too fast for it to get the needed info? A page refresh usually updates the flag.

posted 7 years agoIt's not the rendering speed, per se. There's no API to get IP addresses after requests, and fetches of cached requests leave their IP field blank. A manual refresh forces a new actual request and thus fetch of the IP, at which point it works. If you're getting the globe when a refresh will cause it to change to a flag, then either Flagfox was loaded before the page was or it somehow got confused and forgot a cached IP, somehow.
Due to the API limitations here, I've got to listen to IPs ahead of time and cache them for when needed. Caching is easy; caching without keeping everything cached forever and becoming a giant memory leak, is more difficult. Flagfox 6.0.1 has some cache improvements, with more likely to come in future updates. TL;DR: Working on it. - Rated 5 out of 5by shoood0, 7 years ago

Seconding the issue where it doesn't always work on the first page load. On soft-refeshing the page it then works fine. would prefer to lose the context menu items but not a big problem. Everything else seems good.
Now if only Mozilla pull their finger out and create the needed API's then hopefully this and my other extensions can go back to working how the used to. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13721263, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13657783, 7 years agoSo glad to see Flag-fox available for versions 57+. (I am using Nightly versions 59+). This add-on was the one I missed the most. Thank you Dave G. for your effort and time to convert the add-on from older version. This add-on is a must. It is very convenient to know were the servers of a site are located before you do business with them. Also, the "Is it up?" option lets you know if the a site you are trying to access is down on their end or if you have a problem on your end. I recommend this add-on to all Firefox users.

posted 7 years agoThanks! :)
"Recreation" feels like a good word, here, as I basically ended up having to rewrite everything almost from scratch, due to the realities of Mozilla's new mandatory-to-use WebExtension API. Same person writing it, though. ;)- Rated 5 out of 5by shallot, 7 years agoThe little flag in the location bar is useful for people who care to know how the Internet works, and actually something that other people have occasionally noticed while looking at my Firefox windows.
P. S. Thanks for porting to WebExtensions! I made a donation after the fact. - Rated 5 out of 5by NNS, 7 years ago
