langsam gehn mir die ständigen änderungen (eine davon ist schuld dass in KOMMENDEN ff versionen keine statusbar möglich ist) gewaltig wohin. wenn ich einen chrome ähnlichen browser will dann installier ich mir chrome , will ich aber nicht !

in der jetzigen form ist das addon unnütz denn da kann ich gleich auf einen link klicken.

bis der entwickler hoffentlich eine lösung gefunden hat , könnt ihr euch die alte version wieder installieren

Get Status-4-Evar add-on and downgrade to previous version of forecastfox to get the bar functionality back!

I am SO impressed by this update that I can't express my gratitude to the developer. He has heard every nasty complaint and addressed each one with a flexible, totally functional add-on that not only made me feel glad to have donated, but is sending me back to RE-donating! Thank you for all of this work!
PRECEDING REVIEW (which was called "almost there"):
As of this new version, I can move the icon to the Add-on bar, but this requires installing the extension "New Add-on Bar" -- which I hope will continue to work in future versions of Firefox.
The only issue is that it is only available as a pop-up, not as a strip of multiple days. That strip was really useful.
BTW, I contributed to this developer, and he is responsive -- so I encourage others to do so as well.

Wusste nicht das dieses Update mit der Umstellung auf zuküntige Firefox Versionen zu tun hat. Danke für die Infomation.
Im Vergleich ist Forecastfox immer noch ein Super Add-on.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit, bleiben sie dran ;-)

Thanks for the effort in preparing the add-on for the future Firefox direction. Changes to your add-on may not be liked by some, but in this case, it is a necessity. Please continue the good work.

I've used the addon for a long time. The developer has always responded very quickly to problems and queries. Hope he manages to restore the functionality lost due to forthcoming Mozilla changes.

The developer is working on fixing the UI to something better or closer to the original version. Which 2.4.8 still works just fine.

Thanks for your hard work Oleksandr

"But do not worry, I'll come up with a workaround and will return Forecastfox previous form"

Had this problem at LAST upgrade and still can't contribute with main FF or virgin, unused IE - PP won't recognize my password, yet direct to the site I can get in! (Also tried using Oleksandr, but that's not any good without a full email address...) 80(

Recently, this add-on, which WAS wonderful and did exactly what I wanted it to do, changed.

In researching the issue, I discovered that the developer, Alexander (Oleksandr) Popov lives in Kyiv. In March of 2022, he posted a response to a Google conversations regarding Forecastfox that due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he's no longer able to lead the development of his addons.

I'm creator. I'm from Ukraine, Kyiv. Not Russia!!!!!
I can not now lead the development of extension, because there is a war in my country.
Sorry!"

This probably explains why this addon isn't working anymore. Some recent changes in the the URL's for the weather services his addon links to are the likely reason for the disruption. And this assumes he's still alive.

Personally, I'll look for an alternative for a while, but I won't uninstall it. I wish him and his fellow countrymen and women well.

I really like the new version. I can see any cloud cover and the temperature right away. Also, the five day forecast, radar, precipitation, and what it feels like are all just one click away!

Sadly, the new version lost the ability to display multiple days at once on a bar, but this was bound to happen after switching to Mozilla's WebExtensions.
All the information is available in just one click anyway, it's just a new habit to take.

This is still one of the best -- if not the best -- weather add-on for Firefox.

And the city search is working again. :)

Зачем убрали из статусной строки данное расширение? Было так удобно отслеживать погоду. Верните прежний вид расширения в статусную строку
Why remove this extension from the status line? It was so convenient to track the weather. Return the previous form of the extension to the status line

I don't switch cities so don't need whatever may be broken and prefer the multi day view, so had to find out from a search where to get the older version. If I have to give up on Firefox I will, but not before every useful addon like forecastfox is completely broken.

Still a great add-on! In new version -as many others- I miss the multiple days view. But I understand that Firefox will not be the same after v57. And as some other add-ons I have (i.e. Wired-Marker), all will change to follow the new API of Firefox. The Forecastfox as well.
I have to learn a new habit, to click on the Forecastfox button. Then everything is better than before.

I use The Addon Bar:
https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/the-addon-bar/
So it's possible to keep the previous status view. Pls return this option!

Mine is still there you can add additional toolbars, mine is across the bottom with the weather across it . Not sure how long I can go with this working I'm on 53.2
Please just change it back
