Next to the spelling dictionaries, Forecast Fox is my favorite Firefox add in. I've used it for years now. I highly recommend it.

(And yes it would be great to have the additional data back, either fully customized, or as a single option for full forecast, and they are working on giving us back at least some of it. Post feature requests here: http://forecastfox.uservoice.com/forums/36457-general )

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2.1-signed.1-signed).

Forecast Fox is a great add-on that I've been using several times a day for a couple of years now. I highly recommend it.

I've customized mine to use these parameters:

*For current conditions tooltip*

Forecastfox is working great for me with Firefox 3.5.3 with Windows XP SP3.

It has been working great for me for a couple of years now.

Someone mentioned they'd like the forecasts to be more accurate.

Ensolis, please correct me if I'm wrong. What forecastfox does is get the forecast and current conditions from Accuweather and displays them conveniently. Accuracy is totally dependent on Accuweather.

How about doing a simple Forecast application for Facebook? A box we can put on our profile pages to show the weather where we are?

I love Forecastfox for Firefox.

I use this line for my current conditions tooltip:
[t].[nl]Feels Like Temp: [flik+short], Real Temp: [tmp+short][nl]Humid:[hmid].[nl]Wind: [windt] at [winds+kmh] gusts to [windgust+kmh].[nl]Precip: [precip+mm], BarPrs: [bard].[nl]UV: [uvt], Sun Rise: [sunr], Sun Set: [suns].[nl]Moon: [moont], Moon Rise: [moonr], Moon Set: [moons].[nl][dnam].

I use this line for the forecast tooltips:
[tlong].[nl]Hi FL Temp: [rlfeelhi+short] Low FL Temp: [rlfeellow+short].[nl]Hi R Temp: [hi+short] Low R Temp: [low].[nl]Prbty of Thunder Storm: [tstorm].[nl]Wind:[windt] at [winds+kmh] gusts to [windgust+kmh].[nl]Precip: [precip+mm].[nl][dnam].
