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?

"You don't have permission to access...."
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.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
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.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
Well, I made the change and the browser still couldn't get there.Shadoefax wrote:It's because accuweather.com is a secure site and must be accessed with https://www.accuweather.com....

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.

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

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

Within minutes after I posted that the connection to AccuWeather was working, I tried again and it failed.
Well, like I said: "whatever."

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

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
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.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
that change is going to affect more than just Forecastfox, it will also affect this very forum, out local traffic cam map at in.gov and likely a large host of sites. https does not come 'free'....wolfblake wrote:Setting "dom.security.https_only_mode" to True breaks this addon.
