- Оценено на 1 из 5от Walt220, 6 лет назадI loved this addon but found through trial and error it was preventing some web page links from opening unless I refreshed the page I wanted to go to. If that is ever fixed, I will reinstall in the future.

размещено 6 лет назадversion 2.4.8 (last for XUL-technology) - 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I could not fix and make version 2.4.9, because 2.4.8 uses the outdated version of jQuery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!- Оценено на 1 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 13209061, 6 лет назадI can't use this addon anymore, because I had massive problems with different websites e.g. ebay. Links / buttons / searches were not working / opening anymore.
After deactivating every addon and activating them one for another, Forecastfox (4.5 on FF 54) was resulting that problems.Ответ разработчика
размещено 6 лет назадThe problems are not in the extension, - problems in Firefox: there is an error in processing "chrome.webRequest.onHeadersReceived" method for these sites
But I want to please you - in new versions of Firefox, including in Firefox Nightly 57.0a1 (2017-08-02), this problem has already been fixed - Оценено на 1 из 5от Nel713, 6 лет назадRadar causes pages to lag, but cannot be turned-off in options. With previous versions I could eliminate the radar/sattelite and enjoy everything else. After removing ForecastFox, my pages load smoothly.

- Оценено на 1 из 5от remmmie, 6 лет назадFirst THANK YOU for updating Forecastfox. But I don't care what Mozilla says about no more add-on bar after v57, someone will write code to add it back, and many of us simply won't upgrade to 57 until that's available again. If that means not updating FF until Nov 2018 or later, so be it.
ASide from this new vers not being in the add-on bar, I don't like the way it presents. The last version was PERFECT for my tastes... glad I archived a copy. Sorry, this one is not to my liking at all. :(Ответ разработчика

In case of printing you have the bar on your hardcopy.
2)
You should use a fixed height for the text, otherwise it gets bigger and bigger in case you change the zoom and hides the bottom part of your site.
3)
If you have an input part on your site, it´s hidden by forecastОтвет разработчика

I totally agree to Shananiganeer and others who are missing the "One-glance-weather" in the statusbar or any other bar. I used to place it in the menubar.
Whithout this function it is useless for me and I have to uninstall it because of the monstrous popups and the need to push the mouse to its place.
PLEASE rebuild our addonbar functionality.Ответ разработчика
размещено 6 лет назадThe statusbar/addonbar is missing in new versions of Firefox.
The current version of Forecastfox is the version for the new API: WebExtensions (supported Firefox and Google Chrome)
WebExtensions not supported "statusbar/addonbar" from xul-addons like as "Addon-bar restored", "Status-4-ever" , etc
These are the inevitable changes in Firefox - all Xul-addons is die in Firefox 57 (November 2017)
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/02/16/the-road-to-firefox-57-compatibility-milestones/ - Оценено на 1 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 13112879, 6 лет назадI'm aware that XUL is going away, but that is not the point. The point is, the current display of the forecast is intrusive and obscures the content of some sites. And that is ignoring the very annoying default display that pops up if my mouse goes over the icon. If there is truly no way to tuck everything away neatly in a toolbar, then the addon has lost all value for me and there is no coming back. I realize that this isn't your fault per se, but that doesn't excuse the poor design choices made to circumvent it.
FYI: I am currently using an older version of this addon with the Pale Moon browser.
EDIT: If I hide the forecast bar, I might as well just bookmark a weather site and uninstall the addon anyway... Please don't give bad suggestions to legitimate problems.Ответ разработчика

размещено 6 лет назадThe original status bar (add-on bar) was removed from Firefox in version 29 (May, 2014) and all existing addons that emulate that bar are coded using XUL.

So forget about the xul-version, there are a few months left before the complete destruction of all the old add-ons... - Оценено на 1 из 5от GaryOB, 7 лет назадIt didn't disappear, it just turned into a tiny icon on the URL bar (everything bar?) with the temperature in a bright, unreadable yellow, or was it green?, that hid the icon. I discovered that was it, have to click the icon, no more display on the add-on bar (using CTR for years), had to revert to version 2.4.8 to get it back. I hope version 4.1 provides the functionality and options I am used to, if I'm still using FireFox in November. Mozilla just keeps on taking away more options with a lot of the updates, I'm thinking of going back to Seamonkey. Maybe try PaleMoon, if it will download correctly this time. Firefox is turning into Chrome and I don't like Chrome.

I used this because I still have the status bar, and I have a lot of space there to spare. This add-on would give a lot of information. However, it has been compressed. I used to be able to hover the mouse over something that was always visible, to immediately get radar. Now it's buried, and takes more time to load. Obviously this is just one person's opinion, but it is no longer the add-on that it once was.Ответ разработчика

I was on Linux earlier and thought that it just was not working correctly on FF because it was on Linux but NO I am now on Windows 7 Ultimate and it is just the same here. You used to be able to display the important info down on the lower add on bar that got replaced by the Classic theme restorer. But you are being just like the idiot FF devs. If I wanted to use a browser that looks and feels and STINKS just like the abortion called Google Chrome I would just use Google Chrome and not FF. Why is this add on now in a STUPID BUTTON up on the top R/H corner of FF. For me it is a PAIN IN MY !@@ to use it so I DON'T I have uninstalled the thing. Why did you move it off of the lower add on bar that can easily be put back by the FF Classic UI add on. I liked just being able to glance down on the lower edge of FF to see the weather Now you have to click on the stupid button. WHAT A LAME IDEA! Your add on was the FIRST AND IT WILL BE THE LAST add on that I ever send in any money to sup[port. 3 months ago I sent you $20 USD for your efforts but now I feel like DEMANDING MY MONEY BACK WHAT this is now is not what I was supporting.
I FEEL ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before the change having this add on was the ONLY reason I was still using FF. Now I suppose it does not matter what one I use. They are all LAME I am thinking seriously of uninstalling FF along with your LAME Forcast Fox (FIXED oh I mean BROKEN!) add on.
Well I am not a developer or coder etc like the other millions of us out here where some flip burgers some build houses or work on aircraft etc etc the vast majority out here are not programmers and would never be able to develop software. All I know is that the arogant devs of Moxilla are the true culprits of all the issues over the years. Every new version of FF that they release seems like over 80% of add ons get broken. They are a lot like a vast majority of devs in the Linux community as well as the open source arena. They do not give a damn about the people who use their software and for the life of me I cannot understand why in hell they even do it. Too many of them when asked about something a user does not understand how to use or gives some negative feedback about changes that adversely affects most users all too many devs respond with read the F ing manual or hey its free you don't have to use it.
I do not understand very much of what was talked about in the two links you sent me. However this is what I have done since I posted these remarks. The real cause of the issues are not with the individuals who make the add on's the blame sits squarely with the Fire Fox devs and the Mozilla Foundation for letting the dev's do what they want with out any regard for the end users. since posting this is what I have been doing. I have done several Google searches and have come up with some names who are at the head of the Mozilla Foundation and I have also found the snail mail address for their head quarters. Tomorrow I plan on composing a detailed old fashioned buisness letter spelling out all of the reasons as to why I have uninstalled Fire Fox from all of my compuiters and mobile devices with some suggestions that they should implement if they do not want to become irrelavent to the many of us who use their software but really do not like it any more. When I finish my letter I will take it down to my Post Office and mail it Registered with a return recipt so I know that some one on the recieving end actually got my letter. I am an older individual and I remember back before the PC was even in existance. For the most part back then the vast majority of companies as well as non profit foundations were very focused on good customer service as well as good customer relations. Over the years all of that has been replaced by the impersonal tecnology. Every company you call today all have a stupid computerized answering system which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes to wade through all of the lame menu options before you actually are able to speak with a real person. I remember the day when the first thing you heard was a real red blooded human who answered the phone who asked nicely the purpose for your call. I have found that the most effective means of communicating about an important issue is an old fashioned buisness letter, not email and definately not live chat. It will be interesting to see what sort of response if any that I get from sending my letter. A few years ago I operated a small buisness and needed at the time a very expensive and high end large format printer. It was back when hardware was very expensive, I purchased a scanner that was so expensive that it came bundled with a full version of Photo Shop that at the time cost $600 dollars. This HP printer was like that and almost cost $800 but back then the ink was very inexpensive. Then about 6 months after buying this printer the industry decided to basicly give away the printers and the cost of the ink probably increased 1000%. It was so bad that we could not afford to even use this very expensifve printer that at the time had been reduced in price to around $120 instead of how much we spent only 6 months earlier. We put it up in a closet and everytime I saw it my blood did a slow boil. Then one day I could not stand it any longer and I sat down and wrote a long detailed letter to the new CEO of HP explaining why I would never ever purchase any prduct with the HP branding on it. I did not expect to get any response at all but I was shocked at what happened. A few days after sending the letter I received a phone call from the CEO's office. They must have called directory assistane to get my phone number becasue I did not put that in the letter. The CEO's secritary called to apologize for how thier decisions had negatively affected us and asked me to send them a copy of my original invoice which I mailed to them. They sent me a check for the full price of the pinter including the tax along with extra to cover shipping the printer back to HP. The letter that was sent along with the check had instructions of where to ship the printer along with an RMA number. So you never know what might happen if you send a respectfully written letter even if it is not a positive one.Ответ разработчика
