Love it. It is always accurate!
By the way 10B, you can change the amount of days, go to options , then extended forecast and change how many days are displayed!

I have always liked ForecastFox and I add it to everyones FireFox install. I find it fairly accurate for our area. I also like (or did like!) how configurable it is (was)!
I would have given it a 10/10 but the latest version doesn't allow me to choose how many days ahead I would like the forecast to show - it only allows the current day. Please change this back!!!

Great add-on. I like it way better then the other one. I'm only giving a 9 because it's not exactly accurate for my small town. It only gives me weather from the main town which is 15 minutes and 1000' down the hill. Quite a difference. If the maker wants to set up a weather station at my house to get more accurate reading to my small town, let me know =) My e-mail is posted =)

I don't know why everyone is going on about forecastfox doesn't work, it does!

All of a sudden, Forecastfox ceased working. I deleted it, and tried reinstalling again and again and again and again. No go. I went to the ensolis website, and posted a question there, and no answer came. I really liked Forecastfox, and it is hard to sever such a beautiful relationship, particularly since I was the one who was dumped.

Bottom line, I noticed delays and hang-ups with forecastfox. After uninstalling it, I noticed a 'huge' difference in the performance of my firefox! I believe it has something to do with forecastfox constantly seeking for updates within it's program, therefore causing issues with firefox itself. All I can say is that my firefox is much better now that i've uninstalled forecastfox!!

This is a fantastic tool that we have been waiting for years. The accuracy is fantastic (Limassol, Cyprus)and the graphics are simple and straight forward. Nice job guys!!

I have been having a problem with FF and have posted 2 msgs on the ensolis forum. I expected someone from FF would actually read these posts and reply. My foolish mistake. Its always been much easier in software to provide a point for user feedback then it has been to actually READ the msgs posted and reply to users. Good going FF! You\'ve taken an excellent add-on and made it useless; now there\'s not even a place to get help for this. In another day or 2 I\'ll regretfully remove FF from my system (why bother waiting when the add-on doesn\'t show me anything worthwhile?) and find another weather widget to use.
This is the msg posted to ensoli:
I loaded the update (0.9.6) in Firefox 2.0.0.6 and now get the metadata tags rather than any graphics. So rather than icons there is the "Now in Pine Plains, NY/nMostly Cloudy, 57 F/nWinds:..." rather than any icons and labels. Any idea why this should happen?

I like Forecastfox, but AccuWeather is not very Accu. In fact it's almost always wrong for our area (Oregon coast). NOAA is far more accurate. I would hope they would give us an alternative to AccuWeather some day.

I\'m new to all this, but I can\'t find where to change the default for Forecasfox to metric.

Perfect! Waited a long time for this. All the rest, weatherbug, etc., GONE! Forecastfox is nice, simple, clean and non-intrusive. Thank you guys for a great add-on.

Accuweather.com sucks...it is never accurate for my area. I myself use Weather.com and it would be great if you could allow users to switch between the sites or switch Weather.com completely! I know that others may prefer Accuweather.com but I guess its nice to have the choice.

I've been using this add-on for about two weeks now, and I love it. I switched to it from 1-ClickWeather because, though also a good add-on, it only worked sometimes. (Most of the time it wouldn't show up on my browser.) Not only have I found Forecastfox to be just about as accurate in all instances, but it works 100% of the time.

The plugin itself is good, and has plenty of options; I've used it solidly for 8 months.
But I'm tired of Accuweather being so bad. I was sitting at work today during an _intense_ storm, and the site reported that it was partly sunny, 90F, and 40% humidity. Would have brought my umbrella today if it gave me even the slightest indication that there would be rain. I had to get a ride home with a coworker so I wouldn't get soaked.
For that, it's getting uninstalled. (No this is not an isolated incident, just my worst)

Really nice extension, good job;)

This is a great extension that works flawlessly. However, I would love to see an option to simple toggle off the checking for new weather data. There are still people out there on dial-up and there are other situations when you might just want to temporarly stop it from checking. Other than that it's perfect. Thanks

I've tried all sorts of widgets and add-ons, Forecastfox has them all beat! It is highly configurable once you play with it a bit.
