Regular Firefox with regular Forecastfox installed *WORKS PERFECTLY IF* you use the PROXY set to 127.0.0.1 under port number 8118 while running the Tor/Vidalia bundle.
To be CLEAR! Do NOT use "Tor Browser". Not that thing.
We're using *Regular Firefox* folks, but connect it through Tor/Vidalia by going to:
Tools --> Options --> Network --> Settings --> 127.0.0.1 and port 8118.
Then to really streamline it, use the bottom line which says "No proxy for:" and add the sites you do NOT want proxied.
Like so,
Google.com, Youtube.com, Yahoo.com, Facebook.com and so on, but notice the comma at the end of each followed by a space OR simply turn the proxy on and off whenever you want Forecastfox to update weather data.

WHY does this work? I have no idea, but it DOES work all of the time every time.

I hope this helps!

On a side note, I SUSPECT the reason could be because our ISP's are caching data which gives us all two or three day old weather data, but when we go through the proxy server it actually connects to accuweather like it should do in the first place OR another possibility could be that accuweather is *blocking* requests from that part of their website for huge IP ranges, but somehow the IP's the Tor network runs on are not block as of YET.
Just a couple of guesses.
The bottom line is this - If you love this add-on, follow my instructions above and it'll work again regardless of why. It works!

Great app,been using it for years.
Recently the days were off by a few days.
I tried the suggestions below and deleting the sqlite file fixed it
but just for a short time.
After much fooling around,I added a second location and had it
automatically switch every minute. Worked great,kept correct days. I then removed the second location which I added as a test and my original location is working great.
I use Chicago,added Aurora,CHANGED Aurora to primary and
deleted Chicago,then added Chicago back and finally deleted Aurora. It has been working correctly.
Good Luck.

Tried Alexxx's suggestion below. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. Extended forecast seems OK, but current conditions are wrong. It displays data from many hours ago, not current.

Firefox 35.0.1 / Forecastfox v2.2.4. it's Saturday 1/31. my "Now:" was stuck on last Tuesday (presumably the day Firefox updated to v35.01). i closed Firefox, renamed "forecastfox.sqlite" > "forecastfox.sqlite.BAK". opened Firefox, reconfig'd my Forecastfox prefs. STILL behind but apparently only by 12 hours. my "Now:" says 11:50pm, it's 10:59am as i type this. everything else seems to be working but now i have to go elsewhere for current conditions, possibly even (gasp) outside. looks like Forecastfox is doomed. if i knew how to get it up to current Firefox specs i'd fork it. maybe some day.

UPDATE: current conditions ("Now:") were briefly only a few minutes behind real time. looked good. i hit "Reload Weather Data" and "Now:" reverted back to 11:50pm last night with corresponding temp. great.

Many thanks for this fix Alexxx!!
Updated to the 2.2.4 version, no help.
Disabled the adblock first, no help.
Deleted the forecastfox.sqlite file and it's now working great again!!
Also set my Firefox to NOT update!!
Thanks again Alexxx!!

Found the file. deleted it and nothing has changed.
Only way to update the forecasts is using a VPN and change your locations, but that means it is to much trouble, and it is sad this service is down. Every update makes Firefox worse. I have saved my best configurations to an extern disc. Why do they do this? I used to love this browser. Now i don't really know what's going on here.
From now on I will never update Firefox, because it has gone from the best browser to "you never know what those bastards are are up to this time"... Updating is now a dangerous game. Seems like they get a kick out of fooling us who have followed and supported them!

If you are having problems with ForecastFox, exit Firefox. Then go to your Firefox profile directory and delete the forecastfox.sqlite file. Restart Firefox and ForecastFox should be working fine. You will probably need to update your personal preferences in ForecastFox options, though.

I have tried this on several computers running both OSX and Windows, and it's worked on all. (I don't know if this also fixes the non-English language problem, as I am not affected; but it certainly fixed everything else for me.)

Please note that, if you are installing ForecastFox from scratch on Firefox 35+, you may have to bump up the max version in the install.rdf.

This is an excellent add-on. It has always helped me plan everything from activities to what kind of clothing I should wear or bring with me, or if I should have my umbrella on the way to school. I *really* hope that the team who makes this add-on is on-top of making it work for the latest version of Firefox, because I cannot even deal with these other lousy, non-working weather add-ons I'm having to use in its place since my update. =/

I'll miss this add on, im glad my FF on on my laptop still has it, no weather add-on will as good as this one was. i silently hope somebody will revamp forecast fox

Working, but needs to change language to english. However, last problems with updating data are caused by accuweather website, not this addon.

Рейтинг 1 из 5 звёзд

Forecastfox now doesn't even sync in English. I suppose Accuweather has put all their resources into the mobile version. Will someone please hack the mobile version to make it work on the desktop? Thank you.

Uma alternativa que consegui resolver !!!!

-Baixe o arquivo forecastfox-latest.xpi
-Descompacte em uma pasta o arquivo forecastfox-latest.xpi utilizando o 7-ZIP
- Dentro desta pasta vão conter (chrome) chrome.manifest forecast..., icon e install.
-Abra com o bloco de notas o arquivo install
-Modifique a linha <em:maxVersion>22.0 para <em:maxVersion>35.0 e salve o arquivo (assim se tornará compatível com a versão do firefox atual)
-Abra a pasta Chrome, descompacte também o arquivo forecastfox.jar em uma pasta
-Localize a pasta content/locale, faça um backup renomeando o arquivo forecastfox-en.json para forecastfox-en_bkp.json
-renomeie o arquivo referente a sua linguagem, no meu caso forecastfox-pt-BR.json para forecastfox-en.json (assim ele vai conseguir atualizar os dados mas traduzido para seu idioma)
-Para finalizar, selecione todos os arquivos extraídos do forecastfox.jar compacte ele para forecastfox.zip e renomeie para forecastfox.jar
-Após isso selecione todos os arquivos descompactados do forecastfox-lastest e compacte ele para ZIP depois renomeie para forecastfox-latest.xpi
-Pronto, os dados meteorológicos serão atualizados e alguns itens no seu idioma.

-To Finish, select all the extracted files forecastfox.jar compress it to forecastfox.zip and rename it to forecastfox.jar
-After This select all the unzipped files of Forecastfox-lastest and compress it to zip then rename it to Forecastfox-latest.xpi

This Add-on (Version 2.2.4!) worked like a charm for many years. Also no problems with Australis. Since FF35 and FF36beta Forecastfox is broken. A workaround is possible but sooner or later Forecastfox will be dead. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a new version in years, so I guess, developement has completely stopped.

Strangely enough, there is still no good (small, simple) alternative to Forecastfox in developement. Or is there? Please recommend!

Forecastfox ONLY works with English language selected. That's a slap to the rest of the world. Shame on it.

First install: "Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks"
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/
1. You must go to settings "Forecastfox Weather"
2. You need to enable English
3. Is Required restore the initial settings by clicking the button below
4. Customize as you wish.
Works in FF35 only then!

To use this extension FORECAST, that works correctly with Mozilla Firefox, all versions,, need to do so, namely, uninstall the current mozilla browser that you use, then look for a new version Mozilla browser between FF18- ---- FF 20. Then the Mozilla browser settings, uncheck the box to automatically update browser. Do not check nothing in this window.
Install any of these versions of Mozilla in the initial phase. Then install FORECAST version 1.4.10. Choose the settings you want ..
Then install add the "DISABLE ADD-ON CHECK COMPATIBILITY" version 1.3
Then install the add-on version 3.2 BAR THE ADDON
After these steps, you can update any version of FF-3o, 31,32,33,34,35, to any version you want. But beware, you do so manually.
Voila..work FORECAST by ALL version of FF.

Killing another popular app - just another slap in the face from Firefox to end-users and addon developers. The Firefox developers' club is an egocentric social group that utterly lacks a moral compass or common sense. "Nihilists" is perhaps the best way to describe them. Their compulsive tweaking has caused untold grief amongst the end-user community and the developers have done so defiantly and often rather rudely. They really don't care what average Firefox users think. Just ask them! The alpha-tester/developers please only themselves.
