For some reason you decided to change the entire layout, now the weather I had on my add on bar is diminished to a tiny little square and I have to click on it to get what I used to see at a glance. Bad move people. Now I have to find another add-on to do what I liked about your add-on. Very disappointed.

Everything about this extension just took a giant step backwards. Used to be you could have the current weather, the next N days' forecast and any alerts all in your toolbar, with a giant radar map on mouseover. Now you only get the temperature and current weather with a useless, redundant tooltip on mouseover, and everything else is hidden behind a click. The radar map has been reduced to something like a third of its previous size to make room for all the information that used to be available in the toolbar. There appears to be no way to get the old layout back, so it looks like I'll have to try to find an extension that does what this one used to.

On FF 53, this thing just updated itself without being authorized and stopped functioning completely. No place to restore or go back to previous version or reinstall. Right after I sent my latest contribution.

The last version breaks all config and can't integrate in the status bar like ever, very bad update. :'(

Okay. "If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is." I don't install update, because I loose everything I have installed before.

I miss the weather status bar at the bottom. It was convenient during storms. I didn't have to look for anything it was there. Put it back.

What happened to all the Forecast bar integrations? I loved my status bar current/week view at a glance. Now I have to purposefully open the icon to view anything relevant. The NEW temperature in the icon might be useful if it didn't obscure the current conditions icon below it. Way to ruin one of my most useful add-ons. I hope they fix this quickly, or I'll be looking for something else.

While the info is all there it's not as handy as the previous version that had all the weather info on the status bar. please consider an option for either format. Thanks

History of Forecastfox:
This current add-on page you are reading is for "Forecastfox Weather", and it is actually the 2nd version, a fork of the original, which was simply called "Forecastfox", and it was abandoned many years ago.
Rather than contact the original author, Ensolis created Forecastfox Weather. Support was great for a while, but it too has become abandoned, several years ago now.
Rather than coordinate with Ensolis, the developer "Oleksandr" has taken and made yet another fork of this project and called it "Forecastfox (fix version)". Confusing, and annoying to have multiple forks, similarly named, 2 out of 3 defunct. I know. But Oleksandr has done an excellent job, and also has a version available for Chrome browsers.
The only problem now, is that Mozilla has gotten rid of the add-on bar, and gotten rid of XUL, so that the add-on bar can not ever be restored by add-ons in the future. Instead of a row of 9 icons showing me all weather conditions day and night for next 3 days, current weather, emergency alert and current radar, now I will only see one icon, stuck on the navigation bar, cluttering up my browsing, and located in a visually and hand straining area.

I type in Needles, California, where I live and it gives me New York, New York. I guess it filled in and didn't pay attention when I started writing the Ne

In win10, firefox 47+ and earlier, the add-on freezes all the time.

On Firefox 47.0 (Ubuntu 14.04) it doesn't appear in any toolbar. It's like it doesn't exist. Totally unuseful.

Took it seems forever to get correct city. Why have New York,NY as default is strange. How to uninstall?:
I don't have a PayPal account and will not get one.
Too bad that's the only way to pay.

Excellent add-on! I've loved using it for years. However, there's a newer version that fixes problems with this one. (This add-on version really should be removed from the Mozilla directory.) You can get the new (fixed) version of Forecastfox here:

With constant new versions of FF, this app is fraught with incompatibility, I can't add or change locations and trying to choose the "options" locks up FF, so having to always shut down and restart....newest version of FF is 44.0b
