troch ononoma, 9 jierren lynDear Developer,
Thanks for all your hard work. This extension has been great!
As Mozilla seems to be making future development/updates of really great extensions “precarious” I wanted to find out if this update will be problematic or breakdown in the future? In other words should I stay where I’m at?
I’m currently using ver. 2.48. Everything is working, including location. I’ve disabled auto updates because new FF compliance's have already broken a few extensions (or will cause breakdown in the future). The first example of this coming to mind is/was X-Notifier. The last two versions are FF compliant, but don’t function. They…. suck. Not the developers fault, he warned months ago this would happen with Moz changing policies and updates. Yet everyone initially screamed at him when it broke down. There was a temporarily a work around, rolling back 2 versions. This made everything work again, but then with another FF update, even the legacy version only partly works.
So In regards to your extension, would you recommend updating to the latest version, or stay with the previous one which I’m running?
My Machine; Window 7 64 bit, latest FF 64 bit version for windows.
One more issue, and if you don’t have time for this one no problem.
I’ve read that if users install FF 52 ESR (I’m not sure what it is and if it’s secure), all legacy versions will work. Wouldn’t using a legacy version of FF, as well as extension present a security risk?
This really sucks for FF developers and users. I really hate Chrome, it’s heavy on resources, super proprietary, nosy and intrusive as hell. I have no idea why Moz is killing the best part of FF, the extensions. Especially security and utilities extensions. The other stuff I could care less.
Also, if Moz is going to make life difficult to impossible (depending on which developer you’re talking to, and their extension) for developers, why don’t you all go to Opera? I’m betting a lot of people would follow.
It’s my second choice browser, and although it’s Chromium based, it’s lightweight and even has a VPN built in. But they have mostly lame apps.
You’re opinion/feedback on this whole Moz turning FF into Chrome and how to proceed would be appreciated!
Thanks for every thing!

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Sam, 2 moannen lynThis is the most practical weather forecast extension I have found.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 10854376, 3 moannen lynI'm extremely thrilled this is actively being developed again. It's such a quick and efficient way to keep an eye on my local weather without having to open a new tab and check the radar.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14763099, 3 moannen lynThe add-on is good, but every time I set the language to Bulgarian, it resets itself to English after day or two. Would you fix this issue with the local languages? This problem came with the current version 5.3.

UPDATE:
OK, Thanks - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Chris O., 8 moannen lynStill one of the things that keeps me a Firefox user
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch pfaf, 9 moannen lynexcellent add-on i use that for many years.The best for the weather.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch mexter, 9 moannen lynEDIT 2025.11.26: The developer restored the web toolbar! For the record, I think I was a little harsh in putting one start on an extension that I've used for more than a decade because of one change, no matter how much it upset me at the time. I'm putting it up to the 5 stars it has deserved for many years.
This extension is very configurable, has been consistently accurate, and gives me exactly the information I want immediately. No ads, no needless clicking. Thank you!
Older review:
removed: 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.Antwurd ûntwikkeler

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. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Gabohar, 9 moannen lynThanks for update this excellent add-on, is a MUST for Firefox 😀
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12923301, 9 moannen lynI used Forecast Fox, then ForecastFoxFixed for years, glad to have you back.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Farrah, 9 moannen lynNO 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.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Us2inVa2, 9 moannen lynIt'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. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch dimelis, 9 moannen lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch BeeB, 10 moannen lynThere 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.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch cr0wgrrl, ien jier lynThis 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.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch JuancitoLP, ien jier lynQuise 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.
