Keep up-to-date with what's going on outside your window
Too much surfing the net can mean that you occasionally forget to look out the window. Keep up to date with the weather with ForecastFox.
ForecastFox is a handy Firefox add-on for weather forecasts. It takes its data from Accuweather.com and brief tests here at Softonic showed it to be fairly accurate. As with most add-ons, it is easy to install. In contrast to a lot of add-ons, however, ForecastFox also has good configuration options, letting you control where your location, where you want the information to appear on your browser and how you want it to look.
ForecastFox allows you to set multiple location profiles, as well as choosing what icons you want to use and whether you want your forecasts to appear in metric or American measurements. Once applied to your browser, ForecastFox displays the weather forecast for the current day and a variable number of subsequent days - from two to seven.
Clicking on the icons will bring to the Accuweather website, either to the forecast for that day, an hour-by-hour forecast or five-day one. You can also access a radar image of weather in your location. Hovering over the icons brings up a slightly mor complete forecast for whichever day you have picked.
ForecastFox: a simple add-on to prevent the weather from taking you by surprise.

Forecast Fox | What used to be, what could have been..
Something went horribly wrong at ForecastFox. Where once they possessed a trim, neat, unobtrusive, feature-rich weather addon, they birthed a monstrous thing. Huge. Bloated. Bent on devouring giant chunks of your monitor's real estate. No longer your partner in planning an outing, it has become your nemesis. The tiny, customizable, well-thought-out addon has been supplanted by some feverish nightmare.While I do not mind the new color scheme, the absence of previous features is not something to be embraced. Version "2.0" should NOT be a giant step backwards. Additionally, when introducing a new product (and make no mistake about it, this is a new product, not an update) the goodwill engendered from the previous version should not be so callously discarded.At the very least, a compatible version of the old addon should be available. Version 1.0. New colors, same small footprint, additional features. Ah, what might have been.Goodbye, ForecastFox. I'll miss you.
Pros:
New colors. Some of the features of the previous versions.
Cons:
No longer as customizable. The mouseover popup now consumes 500% more screen real estate (fully 20% of my screen). More
