[EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)

[Athaedriel]

You might try looking at the source where the date is displayed.

In computer science I almost always prefer yyyy/dd/mm-hh:mm:ss so it's trival to sort,

Is your computers default date display set to display dates ok when you do a directory of files?
It if is, then problem can likely only be fixed in the source.

If your date in a 'dir' output is wrong, then you might be able to change your localization settings to have it
display correctly.
(I'm not the maintain of the package, but at least with the source around we can sometimes make our own fixes.

still wondering on this below, really liked getting the severe thunderstorm alerts on there previously

Hi pag77, I don't seem to get severe weather messages anymore on firefox. I tried toggling the option for it back and forth but they seem to be gone. Anyone else having that behavior?

Does anybody know why I get "Gah. Your tab just crashed" on some tabs when I click the radar button when Windy is referenced

with the last update of FF 79 , started working again

Hello,

I will sometimes click on the "Click for hourly forecast" button in the "Forecast Bar." But I always (and i mean always) get an "Access Denied" page, stating "You don't have permission to access "http://www.accuweather.com...." In fact, this is the case for any of the links-to-Accuweather I click. Does anyone else ever get this message?

Thanks.

It's because accuweather.com is a secure site and must be accessed with https://www.accuweather.com....

As noted on the previous page of this forum topic, the problem can be fixed by modifying your HOSTS file and adding the following line:

184.28.182.59 forecastfox3.accuweather.com

This worked for me and ForecastFox is now behaving as it should.

Well, I made the change and the browser still couldn't get there.

I then disabled all my add-ons (yes; using FF) and tried again; still no success.

So then I tried it accessing the site using four other browsers (IE 11, FF 78.0.1 (32-bit), Opera and K-Meleon), and the site came up just fine in all the others. Soooo, for whatever reason, my older version of FF (56.0 64-bit) is unable to access it. I did also notice that the actual URL to which I am attempting to connect is "https://", while the "Access Denied" message refers to "http://." So, yeah...not sure what's going on there.

Anyway, thanks again, Shadoefax. Y'all have a nice day.

You mentioned that you are using Fx v56.0. I'm using v56.0.2 64-bit and it works for me.

You mentioned that you are using Fx v56.0. I'm using v56.0.2 64-bit and it works for me.

It may be that an upgrade/update would be required for this to work, but I'm very partial to this particular version. Besides, it's no big deal at all.

Thank you again.

Now it's working....

Well, whatever...lol.

Anybody know why it crashes the tab whenever I click on anything if I'm in a private window? It used to work.

[W7o1KuDaR]

Within minutes after I posted that the connection to AccuWeather was working, I tried again and it failed.

Well, like I said: "whatever."

Got the "wait for script" message with Forecastfox fixed version today.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0 ID:20200720193547

I would suggest a new option: Forecast bar - Hide in Full Screen Mode

[wolfblake]

Setting "dom.security.https_only_mode" to True breaks this addon. Is it possible to update the link to AccuWeather? Bug 1658266 is to enable this by default on nightly.
