  "The best weather extension out there!"

  by gangsterls on November 8, 2006

  Pros: There are several weather extensions, but this one is easily the best. There are up to eight days worth of accurate localized forecasts off of accuweather.com , optional night forecasts, automatic refreshes, a profile manager for different locations, different skins on the website, a skin manager, a radar image, read-at-a-glance icons, standard and metric measures, and good display options like icons, text, or both. You can move it to any toolbar you want. It even can have a slide-up window in the lower right corner every _ times it refreshes, and you can set up the refresh interval. Professional, and free =)!

  Cons: Can't have its own toolbar UNLESS you do this:

  1. Move it to the status bar

  2. Open the customize toolbar window

  3. Hit 'Add New Toolbar' button

  4. Name it Forecastfox Toolbar

  5. With customize toolbar window still up, right-click on forecastfox in status bar, and change the display placement option drop down menu from status-bar to Forecastfox Toolbar.

  6. Hit ok on both option menus and it will move to the previously empty new toolbar, giving you the Forecastfox Toolbar.

  "works but........"

  by oldwolfak on October 21, 2006

  Pros: IF you have a weather broadcast station nearby it works well, as long as that station updates regularly. If not......

  Cons: The program is buggy, it gets nasty if the Firefox version you have is not the one this version was designed for, a Firefox bug also that I believe is being worked on, it tends to crash Firefox depending on other extensions you have and while I do love the idea of this program it just doesn't do it for my area (Alaska) because of the lack of updates and i live next to an airport that updates every 15 minutes to the web.

  "acurate 99.9% of the time"

  by manmur on February 5, 2007

  Pros: ForcastFox is one of the most accurate weather checkers you are able to find. The size of the Ad-on is small download size and is light on resources. Like Fire Fox your are able to customized it to your liking. It is also easy to use for anybody.

  Cons: On rare occasions the current weather conditions is off a little bit ( Like it would say snow but look outside it is foggy and not snowing). This can very from area to area and depends on how often the weather info is updated in your location.

  "Completly Wrong forecast"

  by torejorgen on January 30, 2007

  Pros: Good interface. Easy to setup.

  Great if it acualy told the correct weather.

  Cons: The forecasts are so incredably wrong...

  For instance it says, -12 and Sun, when it is +3 and heavy rain...

  (I've set it up to different cities around here and the result is the same. used it for 2 months.)
