- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13028250, 7 years agoThe only reason I used this so I could see several days of weather at one time on the add on bar. If that's not an option, this addon become useless. There are a ton of addons that do what you made this one now do.

posted 7 years agoSorry, but the statusbar/addonbar is missing in new versions of Firefox.
The current version of Forecastfox is the version for the new API: WebExtensions
But I'm not guilty - these are the inevitable changes in Firefox.

But do not worry, I'll come up with a workaround and will return Forecastfox previous form - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13028172, 7 years agoI want to be able to see multiple days of weather on the addon bar. I don't want to have to click on it. i reverted back to the old version. new version isn't worth it.

But do not worry, I'll come up with a workaround and will return Forecastfox previous form - Rated 1 out of 5by Ceanco, 7 years agoI appreciate the work the developer has done, but until the NoScript bug can be fixed - you can't whitelist the add-on so it can't be used - this is unusable for those of us using NoScript - which is a hell of a lot of people!
Sorry, Oleksandr, but this is no good.Developer response

I deleted it and tried reinstalling but I see nothing with this new one. I am running Firefox 64bit ver 53. I will miss this for sure.

Developer response
posted 7 years ago"restored add-on bar" does not support new Firefox API - WebExtensions - Rated 1 out of 5by hallgrim, 7 years agoNow it's totally useless! The statusbar can be restored with The Addon Bar (restored). Fortunately I did not make a donation or were lost money!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Stylist2006, 7 years agoI just donated for the very good last version and today all settings are destroyed for a absolutely unusable updated version - wished I wouldn't have done so!
The last version urgently needs to be downloadable again.Developer response

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/ - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13022979, 7 years agoI am a 52 ESR user that has my add -ons update automatically. I didn't realize that it wasn''t compatible for me. I was having trouble with the 2.4.8 version not updating the location but I see below that you are working on a fix. Is there any way that I can recapture Forecastfox (fix version) 2.4.8 at this point. really miss this add-on. Please advise
Developer response
posted 7 years agoversion 2.4.8 - is broken: City search does not work
I could not fix and make version 2.4.9, because 2.4.8 uses the outdated version of jQuery
jQuery 1.x is now forbidden by Mozilla, read more: https://bit.ly/1TRIyZY
and I had to choose - either completely rewrite code for WebExtensions (version 3.4) or completely rewrite code for a new jQuery (version 2.4.9)
I chose WebExtensions. Sorry - Rated 1 out of 5by Us2inVa2, 7 years agoThis rating should be a five. Please fix your addon, I rolled back to 2.4.8 and disabled updates until it is fixed, like I did with the old version when this happened. This addon as it WAS, is vital for me in my life, for many reasons. Please make it work right.

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/ - Rated 1 out of 5by hortnut, 7 years agoLiked to be able to see all icons for multiple days and nights stretched across the menu bar. Plus have access to quick icons: radar, 5 day, hover over weather icon, get details for that day/night and so on. Use it on Laptops and Firefox. What is 3.4 intended for?
Response to Developer: None of my other Addons are broken. I know that FF [using 53.0.2] has changed its way of dealing with things overtime. Sigh...will use old version for as long as it is possible. I mean the old one works perfectly right now. In meantime will look for an alternative.Developer response

The current version of Forecastfox is the version for the new API: WebExtensions - Rated 1 out of 5by Carole09, 7 years agoI have no idea why you decided to ruin the best weather app available,were you having a bad day? What set this weather app apart from all the others was the ability to glance up or down and see the weather for numerous days without having to click.If you wanted more details then you clicked.I sure hope you re-think this terrible update.

The current version of Forecastfox is the version for the new API: WebExtensions - Rated 1 out of 5by Todd, 7 years agoThis update has ruined one of my favorite add-ons. I have this positioned in the tab area of the frame instead of the status bar. I can also move it to either the menu bar or the bookmark bar. Can those positions still be used after the introduction of the new API?

The current version of Forecastfox is the version for the new API: WebExtensions - Rated 1 out of 5by Fred Flintstone, 7 years agoI find it difficult to understand why the developer(s) decided to destroy the best features of this addon as part of an update.
There are dozens of weather addons available that give users one icon on the toolbar showing really limited information unless they click on the icon. What set Forecastfox apart from all the others was that users could view multiple-day forecast all at once, without the need to click on anything. In addition, users were given quick and easy access to a radar map, hourly forecasts, and detailed five-day forecasts. The only other addon that even came close to this level of functionality was AniWeather, but apparently, that one doesn't work at all anymore.
So, for whatever reason, you have chosen to ruin Forecastfox by reducing it to the level of all the other pathetic competitors, which means that I'll be staying on the previous version as long as possible.Developer response
