by Firefox user 13024827, 8 years agoRecently, this add-on, which WAS wonderful and did exactly what I wanted it to do, changed.
In researching the issue, I discovered that the developer, Alexander (Oleksandr) Popov lives in Kyiv. In March of 2022, he posted a response to a Google conversations regarding Forecastfox that due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, he's no longer able to lead the development of his addons.

I'm creator. I'm from Ukraine, Kyiv. Not Russia!!!!!
I can not now lead the development of extension, because there is a war in my country.
Sorry!"
This probably explains why this addon isn't working anymore. Some recent changes in the the URL's for the weather services his addon links to are the likely reason for the disruption. And this assumes he's still alive.
Personally, I'll look for an alternative for a while, but I won't uninstall it. I wish him and his fellow countrymen and women well.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17387387, 2 months agoI use to love this extension but it no longer works from the standpoint that you can't change locations. It's default or NOTHING. This is the FIX (?) version. Please bring back the old version. You know, the one that actually worked. SAD !!!!

Not updated for 5 years. Can't change location which make this addon worthless and not usable at all. I reported it.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Hans, 5 months agoagain the same issue cannot find places...google maps is not available..java script console issue...more stars if issue has been fixed
- Rated 1 out of 5by Valeriu, 5 months agoMixed feelings. It was a 5 star add-on, but now I cannot change the location, which makes the add-on useless at this point. This is the error that I get:
"Google Maps JavaScript API error: ExpiredKeyMapError
https:// developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error"
I will amend my review if the issue is fixed. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12556676, 6 months ago
