I have used this plugin for years and years. I particularly like the at-a-glance icons and its ability to be customized.

However it hasn't worked since FF 7.0 on Ubuntu 11.04+, so it's hard to give full stars to something which won't work at all for you. :-|

Before it stopped working entirely though, it was looking to me like it was becoming a victim of its own success. Its sheer number of adjustments made setting it up more and more difficult.

Sometimes would not pull in data from AccuWeather.

Also if you live outside the U.S., AccuWeather doesn't supply as much data as it will for U.S. locations. This is fine as they are a U.S.-based service, but Forecastfox is permanently fixed to AccuWeather to get its data. This is reasonable since Forecastfox is probably programmed to get data in the format AccuWeather supplies, but it still means a non-U.S. user will get less-than-complete data.

Overall it's a good plugin but it could be streamlined and improved.
