Thats strange - the xml feed for those zipcodes says to display that image. The tooltip shows the correct thing luckily. Tomorrow that entry will disappear and you'll have a picture there
I need as many people as possible to install it and tell me if it works or conflicts with something. I want to submit it to update.mozilla.org once its ready. I just applied to get hosting on mozdev.org.
This is probably the order I'll add things:
-Options dialog.
-Ability to place it anywhere you choose.
-Customizable tooltips.
-International support.
International support seems like it'll be a pain to implement and the options dialog seems like a necessity before I can put it on update.mozilla.org.
Any chance to alter this to use weather.com's XML feed and use XPath to determine values?
Using weather.com will make international support somewhat easier and eliminate the necessity to convert values.
I would make sure the extension is ablsolutely ready before putting it up on update.mozdev.org for a couple of reasons
(a) To help the mozilla community maintain a high quality for the extensions on the site
(b) You will be swamped with support requests or feature requests if the extension is incomplete
I think international support is a must before putting it up. Try weather.com feed as suggested by shirilover. I tried to sign up for the feed to add to applications but it kept asking me for my Home City even though I had it filled in. Probably because I put in an address outside of the US (I had to choose a US state as well).
Put it on other extension sites for a couple of weeks first and receive that feedback before releasing it on the whole world.
Just my 2 cents

Where is weather.com's xml feed?

Not sure if the feature is supposed to work yet, but just letting you know.
The update seem always seems really flaky to me. I have it set up correctly - its changing a bit with 1.0 PR coming out. I'll have to add support for that later today. It'll all probably work better once I move the stuff to a better host. Once its on update.mozilla.org I think it automatically takes care of looking for updates and I won't even need an update.rdf. I agree with Thinktiger though - it needs to be perfect before I put it on Mozilla's extension page.
On another note, my options dialog is well on its way. It doesn't really look nice yet - I don't know how to line stuff up well since this is the first one I've made. I'll try to make it as nice as possible before I release it, then I'm sure you guys will have tons of advice.

As we don't say in French, très weird....
Previous version refused to uninstall. Having nothing "better" to do at approximately 0600 local, created new Firefox profile, reinstalled extensions, installed WeatherFox 0.1.4, which works, even deigning to report the weather in New Mexico.
