- Rated 4 out of 5by Andyross, 7 years agoI have used this for years, and am glad it is still supported and was updated to handle the new WebEx format. I do only have one issue with this current version 6.0: It sometimes doesn't seem to display the flag and info and just shows a generic green globe. I almost wonder if the page renders too fast for it to get the needed info? A page refresh usually updates the flag.

posted 7 years agoIt's not the rendering speed, per se. There's no API to get IP addresses after requests, and fetches of cached requests leave their IP field blank. A manual refresh forces a new actual request and thus fetch of the IP, at which point it works. If you're getting the globe when a refresh will cause it to change to a flag, then either Flagfox was loaded before the page was or it somehow got confused and forgot a cached IP, somehow.
Due to the API limitations here, I've got to listen to IPs ahead of time and cache them for when needed. Caching is easy; caching without keeping everything cached forever and becoming a giant memory leak, is more difficult. Flagfox 6.0.1 has some cache improvements, with more likely to come in future updates. TL;DR: Working on it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13244206, 7 years ago

Seconding the issue where it doesn't always work on the first page load. On soft-refeshing the page it then works fine. would prefer to lose the context menu items but not a big problem. Everything else seems good.
Now if only Mozilla pull their finger out and create the needed API's then hopefully this and my other extensions can go back to working how the used to. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5543731, 7 years ago
