by alex26, 8 years agoHello,
Thanks for your job, it's the best weather extension, very simply to use.
But i have a suggestion for the new weather bar: In the last versions (2.4.8 in Firefox especially) with the addon bar, all weather informations (7 days with nights) was on one line.
Now with the new version and new bar (web extension), to display all info (days and nights), it takes 2 lines.
Would it be possible to make it possible to have the information on a single line as was the case before with the addon bar ? The font size seems to be larger and so the 7 days of forecasts take 2 lines instead of one before.
I now use Opera as a browser because I don't like what Firefox becomes (deletion of extensions, java, flash player, ...) and Operar is lighter. Is theren't on this browser an addon bar similar to the one we had on Firefox?
Sorry for my bad English, i use google translate^^ (thanks for your google translate extension in firefox, it's perfect !)

With the settings you can limit the display of days, nights, icons, labels
> Is theren't on this browser an addon bar similar to the one we had on Firefox?
I do not know.
The current version of Forecastfox uses the same code for Firefox and Chrome (Opera is also based on the Chrome engine)

- Rated 1 out of 5by JuancitoLP, 12 days agoQuise instalarla, me sale que se aborto porque supuestamente esta dañada, y yo tengo la nueva versión de Firefox 141.0, si pueden arreglar eso y corregir ese problema, se los agradezco, e intentare de nuevo, pero solo si lo arreglan con una versión mejor de uds.

As has been posted, the key is to export all of your current settings to a text file using the button at the bottom of the Options section titled "Save Settings".
Then, open that saved text file and go to the line that begins with "Locations list". For your primary location, make sure the city ID, latitude and longitude are all correct. If some other location is there, change the text to your city name and city ID. The city ID is found by opening the Accuweather web page for your location and then looking at the URL for that page. The 6 or 7 digit number for that web page is the city ID for that location. Copy it and paste it into the saved text file on the Locations list instead of any other city ID you find there. Then search the web for the latitude and longitude of your primary location and paste those into the same line instead of any other latitude and longitude you find there. Check the post in this thread dated February 25, 2024 by @Drengelus describing how to get your city ID.
If you want to add a second location, then put a comma after the information for your primary location (just before the ] bracket) and add all of the same text and information that is contained for your primary location with the city name, city ID, latitude and longitude for your secondary location. Check the post in this thread dated April 7, 2025 by @ST Dog for where to place this text in the Locations list line of the settings file.
When you have done this for all locations you desire to add, then save the file. Import this settings file back into ForecastFox using the Load Settings button at the end of the Options section.
Everything should then work, including the ability to switch between your primary and secondary locations. If you want to add additional locations, you will have to add them manually in the same way to the Location line of the exported settings file and then re-import. The graphical interface method of adding additional locations still does not work. - Rated 1 out of 5by Jerry44939, a month agoThis was my favorite --but for about a year now I cannot change the area from New York

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17387387, 4 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 !!!!
