Great app except for one fatal flaw.

The weather alerts that pop up from the "system tray" area in Fire fox will sieze control of your video NO MATTER WHAT.

Usually this is no problem, but if you are a gamer, you WILL have a problem.

I have 3 cities monitored in Forecast fox. When I am playing HALO (and forget to close Firefox first) the popups try and seize the video screen during my game causing DRASTIC LAG in my game for a few seconds...then again...and again. Once for each city monitored. Then again for each at every refresh cycle.

It is an annoyance to have to remember to close all firefox windows before I game.

If they would fix this problem I would give the app 5 stars.
