- Rated 1 out of 5by mexter, 4 days agoremoved: weather display in the web toolbar across all open browser tabs
This was the main feature of this add-on. Without it, I'm not sure I see much point in it. Re-enable the feature and just put up a warning that turning it on may cause issues with some sites.
Also., where does the weather forecast even show now? I can't find it anywhere.Developer response

It is the old school type of weather that is still outperform all the new weather extension an app
I really missed something from this extension and is the ability to see it from the lower right of my screen and even the upper right. Just with pass the mouse over you can see the whole week weather forecast and the past mouse over the map and big size radar appear.
Anyway, I'm happy to use the extension and congratulations to give the world a excellence extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Gabohar, 9 days agoThanks for update this excellent add-on, is a MUST for Firefox 😀
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12923301, 10 days agoI used Forecast Fox, then ForecastFoxFixed for years, glad to have you back.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Farrah, 11 days agoNO HORIZONTAL BAR, NO INSTALL FOR ME!! I only used this add on so I had the bar to just glance at without leaving what I'm doing to click on something. And hover my mouse over the radar to bring it up. It was awesome. It NEVER messed up any webpages. Give us a way to use the last version because this is no good and I won't use it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Us2inVa2, 12 days agoIt's not functional after the update. Wish I'd have been able to prevent it updating now. Not appearing in bottom right hand corner, really really need it back working and wish i knew of how to install an older version to get it back. This addon as it WAS, is vital for me in my life, for many reasons. Please make it work right.

This was breaking many websites, including VirusTotal.
I might bring back Forecastbar in future versions when I find a solution that works for everyone, including the moderators. - Rated 1 out of 5by dimelis, 23 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by BeeB, a month agoThere is a version 4.25 and a 4.26 version floating around on the web. I had a really hard time to find the XPI file to download. Both versions work perfectly. My 1st PC updated to 4.26 automatically, i had this installed for quite some time. I did a fresh install of firefox on the 2nd PC and ran into problems with version 4.12 as it would not load the maps. I installed 4.25 file and it worked perfect.
- Rated 4 out of 5by cr0wgrrl, 2 months agoThis is still the best weather add-on. The current version is NOT corrupt - it just doesn't work because it has not been signed (and the creator lives in the Ukraine, so... *fingers crossed*). Thankfully, the folks in the support forums have figured out how to get it to load. It's still hands-down better than the next most popular option, so I highly recommend checking out the forums and installing it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by JuancitoLP, 3 months agoQuise instalarla, me sale que se aborto porque supuestamente esta dañada, y yo tengo la nueva versión de Firefox 141.0, si pueden arreglar eso y corregir ese problema, se los agradezco, e intentare de nuevo, pero solo si lo arreglan con una versión mejor de uds.
- Rated 5 out of 5by big_kent, 4 months agoFix info from forum:
As has been posted, the key is to export all of your current settings to a text file using the button at the bottom of the Options section titled "Save Settings".
Then, open that saved text file and go to the line that begins with "Locations list". For your primary location, make sure the city ID, latitude and longitude are all correct. If some other location is there, change the text to your city name and city ID. The city ID is found by opening the Accuweather web page for your location and then looking at the URL for that page. The 6 or 7 digit number for that web page is the city ID for that location. Copy it and paste it into the saved text file on the Locations list instead of any other city ID you find there. Then search the web for the latitude and longitude of your primary location and paste those into the same line instead of any other latitude and longitude you find there. Check the post in this thread dated February 25, 2024 by @Drengelus describing how to get your city ID.
If you want to add a second location, then put a comma after the information for your primary location (just before the ] bracket) and add all of the same text and information that is contained for your primary location with the city name, city ID, latitude and longitude for your secondary location. Check the post in this thread dated April 7, 2025 by @ST Dog for where to place this text in the Locations list line of the settings file.
When you have done this for all locations you desire to add, then save the file. Import this settings file back into ForecastFox using the Load Settings button at the end of the Options section.
Everything should then work, including the ability to switch between your primary and secondary locations. If you want to add additional locations, you will have to add them manually in the same way to the Location line of the exported settings file and then re-import. The graphical interface method of adding additional locations still does not work. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jerry44939, 4 months agoThis was my favorite --but for about a year now I cannot change the area from New York

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17387387, 7 months agoI use to love this extension but it no longer works from the standpoint that you can't change locations. It's default or NOTHING. This is the FIX (?) version. Please bring back the old version. You know, the one that actually worked. SAD !!!!
