- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13742680, 7 years agoI used this Add-on for severly years and I liked it. But in the new FF without the statusbar and Foxclock only in an overlay in the website, i couldn´t use it anymore because there are very often buttons or links on the sites get covered from foxclock. Sorry, I know the lack of the statusbar isn´t your fault but it is like it is. The better choice nowadays is Chrome.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ardouronerous, 7 years agoThis is a great addon, knowing the time in different locations around the world is especially useful for Skyping with people all over the world.
However, I give this a 4 star because it lacks a very useful feature that was present in the old version, the ability to import and export settings.
Can this functionality possible be added back? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13223523, 7 years agoUseful add-on, it just does what is says. That it's now a Webextension doesn't help much for Thunderbird. Version 4.3.2 used to work in Thunderbird, but stopped working with TB58beta. Can FoxClocks be updated for Thunderbird, and be made available underneath 'All versions'?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12724014, 7 years agoGood start. Would be good to have a whitelist for certain websites which don't work right when foxclocks is showing. Google maps only shows a black screen. Can't send gmail email until hide clock.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13648129, 7 years agoIt is simple but powerful. Easily create an overview of your time zones by adding your personal and most important places.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13591218, 7 years agoDoesn't work well with FF Quantum, it messes up the layout for some of the website I visited
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13588593, 7 years agoI'm using this addon for years already and it always worked as expected, until the latest update for Quantum.
Ever since it breaks the website of my email provider www.Web.de and only deactivating FoxClocks helps.
Hopefully this can be fixed in a next release.
Besides that a suggestion: an analog or digital clock as icon would serve the purpose to have a visible clock in firefox, without the need to click somewhere or have a full toolbar always visible. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13584923, 7 years agoI have used FoxClocks for years but recently found it was causing trouble with other apps in Firefox. Perhaps due to some changes in Firefox, but it was so frustrating when pop-up screens weren't being shown properly (as other people are reporting). So unfortunately I need to disable for now.
Looking forward to when FoxClocks can work seamlessly again. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13583659, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13494565, 7 years agoI am happy to have this great add-on again.
So far, works like a charm! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13558673, 7 years agoA great help in international communication - easy to set up.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13528525, 7 years agoCrashes with Google Maps and twitter..
More stars when will fixed this bug. - Rated 3 out of 5by broni, 7 years agoSame experience like one of the users below. Sometimes clocks will be visible in status bar but most often it's just a blank bar
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13482842, 7 years agoimproved since first release on Quantum that doesn't allow the creation of a toolbar or statusbar. However, they figured out how to provide a status bar on printed media so now FoxClocks works most of the time.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13514451, 7 years agoit used to be an awesome tool, right up until FF v.57. Then I just get a blank line at the bottom. Only time clocks show is if I go to the actual foxclocks page. Also, the foxclocks line now ever since v.57 takes up space of the window, so it covers the bottom. I used to love it. Sadly, disabling it now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13513971, 7 years agoWorks well on my end. Nice thing to have to keep track of various times in various places. Great work by the developer! Thank you!
- Rated 4 out of 5by DAS1951, 7 years agoI agree with Andyn (previous post) about not being able to remove a city/country. I added one by accident.
The options seem less versatile than before; must be something to do with the way FF 57 is set up.
Otherwise this is a great add-on -- been using it for years. One star dropped only because of the inability to remove a time point. - Rated 4 out of 5by andyn, 7 years agoHave used Foxclocks for a while now & glad to see it's back in FF57.
One thing though.....I can add towns/cities to my list BUT can't delete anything from my list (something I could do on previous FF versions).
Also note that when I print off page 1 of a web site I get Foxclocks somewhere on the page...again something that didn't happen with previous versions.
Something for a future update, perhaps?
UPDATE.....just noticed you can now add/remove locations from your list. Thanks Andy. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mike Conca, 7 years agoThis is one of the best extensions for people who work with globally distributed teams.
Note to author: nice job on the options page, one of the best I've seen for an extension. I will use it as a reference for other developers. - Rated 4 out of 5by PaulJG, 7 years agoLove this add-on, and the fact it's now updated for FF57.
There is a bug with the add-on bar where FoxClocks sits, not sure if this is a FF bug, or related to FoxClocks as that's the only thing I have in that add-on bar now.
When a site has a vertical scrollbar because the content is long, and you scroll right down to the bottom, FoxClocks (well, the add-on bar it sits in) still obscures some content. It looks like it's overlapping the bottom of the page, rather than below it. On most sites not an issue, but if they have clickable links right at the foot of the page or text entry (like Hangouts chat in gmail), it's a problem, as you cannot see those.
