Feature suggestion. Is it possible to be able to implement an ability to save the satellite image and five day forecast as images for later sharing.

Alternative the ability to share either to facebook or other social media site would be nice.

So I was getting some browser lockups and general slugglishness overall with my home laptop and work laptop so I started monitoring CPU and memory usage over the last couple of days. I was noticing that any link I followed on any site was regularly adding 200 to 400 MB, sometimes up to 600 MB with each page load. The memory was not releasing quickly at all, so I could regularly drive the reported memory usage up to 4 to 5 GB pretty quickly. This is memory usage as reported by Windows 10 task manager. When I disabled forecastfox, the behavior stopped. I created a blank profile and only added this extension and was able to replicate the problem.

Anything I can do to help you find the cause?

I want to suggest an option that that can be selected to move the Radar, 5 Day forecast, ect buttons to the other side of the forecast bar. What I want to do is recreate the layout that Forecast Fox used to existed when FF had a status bar. I like to leave the forecast bar collapsed in the lower left corner and be able to quickly check the radar without having to "click to expand" to keep the bar open, then navigating to the other far end.

Hi There,
I love Forecastfox, it works really good. However I would like to know why the "Show the temperature on the button" is grey. It should be red. Sometime when I start Firefox the temperature on the button is RED but soon after it changes to grey. It is really disappointing. The temperature in RED color it looks much better and easy readable.

I would appreciate your response and the changes the designers and developers could make to convert in RED the temperature on the button.

Thanks

McRoger

red color occurs if there are any problems: it is not possible to obtain weather data, or a storm is approaching, or etc...
but be patient - in the future version I will be able to custom change the color of the button, forecastbar, etc.

hi there pag77, ff ERS 52.0.1 and forecastfox 4.14 - does the new non working issue mean that I cannot change my location dynamically any more, but have to go to the options page (via the add-ons manager)each time?
because if yes, the extension is totally useless to me now: cannot see it on any bar, cannot change locations when I travel, I am perfectly able to look out of the window to see what the weather is like

is there a way to change location dynamically?

:cry:

Can you fix ForecastFox in two matters:

1. Pressure is showing mmHg and there is no option to change it to mbar.
2. When radar (or satellite) is off it still shows it.

setting to turn off the radar - this is only for the Forecast bar
if you do not like the default radar - you can switch to windy:

Hi pag77,

just an idea...
i like the data of windy.com and that it's available as radar image here is +1 for me, i really like this.
I already have a profile (with username and pwd) at windy.com for a longer time and it would
be really great, if you could support the use of these profiles here in forecastfox too.
I know this is only a "nice to have", but maybe in the future... as i wrote: just an idea... ;-)
In the meantime, i appreciate your extention very much, thanks for your work!
