Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
I think there are two problems.
There seems to be an intermittent problem with working URLs where they sometimes fail because the server rejects it (something to do with the Forecastfox's AccuWeather account, I can't remember exactly).
The other problem is that certain locations return invalid data, as can be seen in my earlier post. I'm not sure when that last worked properly but it must have been broken for months now.

If ForecastFox isn't working for you right now, click the extension icon, click details. Read what it says.

Says: Forecastfox (fix version) could not be verified for use in Nightly. Proceed with caution.
Addon is not 'Signed' that happened when we made the last changes to the URL
xpinstall.signatures.required is already set to 'false'
extensions.langpacks.signatures.required was 'true', set to 'false', restarted browser
Still not working...

Click the extension icon, not the icon on the add on page. The icon that you use to see the forecast.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
The site seems to be back up now. The radar still isn't updating. Interestingly my weather data never stopped updating. It said that there was an issue connecting to the weather service, but the weather data was still updating the whole time.
Edit: The radar is fixed now, too.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
Nothing has changed, it's just that the problem appears to be intermittent. Sometimes it works for some people and other times it doesn't.
Only when this link gives back valid data will I consider the problem to have been fixed.

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
I think I just looked at the code to figure out what the URL should be (as others in this topic have mentioned) then plugged in the value for my area.
But now I decided to monitor the network requests using the developer tools on the browser window (Developer Tools > Browser Toolbox in Pale Moon). It shows the actual requests made by the addon and they are not what I expected.
They use the cityId and look like this:
http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com/adc ... 0&langId=1
http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com/adc ... 0&langId=1
They all return a response like this:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head><title>Request Rejected</title></head>
<body>
The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.<br><br>

</body>

Re: [EXT] Forecastfox (fix version)
When I click on those I am presented with an XML document that gives the current conditions or the forecast information. If I click the refresh button on the page, it changes the layout of the information, but I believe it's the same. Here's the forecast URL using the postal code information:XTAL256 wrote: ↑July 3rd, 2023, 11:25 pm They all return a response like this:Code: Select all

The information is slightly different and I notice the same where I live. I wonder why it doesn't present the same to you.
