- Rated 5 out of 5by ship, a day agohi,
i just wanted to say thank you to the developer. i’ve been bed-bound for a number of months due to health problems and have only very recently been able to leave the house. i was searching for a weather extension because my vitamin d is incredibly low and i have been trying to get more sun, but the weather has been very inconsistent where i am.
i was struggling a bit to use the extension at first because the logo/badge is black as default, and my firefox has a night sky theme, so pinning the extension to my task bar essentially made it “disappear”. because the extension is new to me, i wasn’t sure if this could be changed. i contacted the developer to ask for help. i received a reply within 24 hours. i received an email explaining i can now toggle the badge function to light mode. i have just realised my extension has been upgraded to pro so i could do this.
i am a complete stranger. the developer does not know me or my circumstances and owes me absolutely nothing. i am so grateful for this act of kindness.
i have sent a donation with what i could spare. i promise to pass on your kindness when i’m more able to.
thank you so much, tim. i am hopeful for the sunny days ahead. x - Rated 1 out of 5by Goose, a day agoThe icon should be white if dark theme is used. Fix this, please. The icon is also too ugly, being just two digits.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nikita, 4 days agoHaha, EVERYTHING requires "pro" account.
You can't even customize the time to update temperature, by default it's 30 mins and displayed in black on black Firefox skin (you have to pay to unlock white text on black).
BUT the temperature does NOT update even then. You have to click the badge to update it and most of the time it isn't accurate even locally. So the only thing this extension is good for, is displaying "kinda right" temp with zero customizability, to get suckers to pay for something you can check freely by bookmarking local weather station.. which is what I'm doing after uninstalling it at the end of this review. - Rated 4 out of 5by LR, 6 days agoPlenty of nice features, but isn't updating for my locality. I have to click on the toolbar icon to get an update.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12452942, a month agoI see this ad-on has a lot of users and I've also been using it for more than 3 years. It works well and is well designed but what people might be missing is that their free API is very wrong most of the times. At least in my area the forecasts are completely unreliable. A simple hourly check with popular weather sites will almost always show contradicting results as far as rain probability (for example) with this add-on's API being the one that's wrong. Developers should find a way to scrape popular weather websites and use that info to display the prognosis.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dano, a month agoThis weather extension is so helpful and so available as an extension in all three of my browsers. It Provides me a birds eye view of the current temperature outside and a convenient hourly forecast just for me. I highly recommend this extension. You too, will enjoy it!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16016863, 3 months agoUpgraded firefox...lost weatherPRO! ...Otherwise a 5 star plus extension. Been using for years. My day seems lost without it. ...One hour later... Still does not show up in my task bar. Ok... got it working...and we're back to 5 STARS!!! Windows 11 seems to handle extensions a little differently, but I take the blame... I missed one step in the extension process. *****...that's 5 Stars!!!!
