User Reviews

Forecastfox is praised as a reliable, long-running Firefox weather addon that provides rich forecast details and quick-glance access (hover radar, corner UI). However, multiple reviews cite major post-update issues: removal of the toolbar display, UI changes that hinder access to forecasts, and functional problems. Configuration annoyances (language resets, auto-location/time) and the desire to revert to older versions are common complaints. Overall, it combines strong loyalty and usefulness with notable usability and access problems after updates.

Pros

Very long-standing, trusted weather extension for Firefox with loyal, long-time users.
Provides rich weather information and quick glance UI, including hover radar and weekly forecast.
Regarded as an excellent, must-have weather extension for Firefox and praised as among the best.
Nostalgic, old-school UI that users feel is effective and easy to use.

Cons

Removal of the web toolbar weather display (horizontal bar) removed, making forecasts less accessible.
Since updates, the extension is not functional or not visible in the expected bottom-right area; users want the option to install an older version.
Configuration issues include language settings resetting and an unconfigurable auto-location/time update (default is too fast).
Forecast visibility is hard to locate or missing after updates, causing difficulty finding the forecast.

Recent reviews

This is the most practical weather forecast extension I have found.

I'm extremely thrilled this is actively being developed again. It's such a quick and efficient way to keep an eye on my local weather without having to open a new tab and check the radar.

The add-on is good, but every time I set the language to Bulgarian, it resets itself to English after day or two. Would you fix this issue with the local languages? This problem came with the current version 5.3.
