Description:
Forecastfox 0.9.0.2 is firefox extensions software developed by Richard Klein and Jon Stritar.
Forecastfox is a Firefox extension to get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension.
Why the switch from Weather.com to AccuWeather.com?
Several factors contributed to us switching our data provider from Weather.com to Accuweather.com. The "Terms of Use" for the feed from Weather.com, was very restrictive. It kept us from implementing some of the things we hope to implement. They had also warned us that they were changing the feed and that we were in breach of the license (25,000 users max on the public XOAP weather.com feed). They offered another feed we could use, which would have limited the amount of data we received. At the same time several companies were contacting us about using their data. Accuweather.com was the most responsive, and provided us with greatest flexibilty and room to grow.
Please note that version 0.7.5 and higher "pings" our server when it is installed or uninstalled. No information is sent other than what version is being installed or uninstalled, and on what program (Mozilla vs Firefox). We simply increment a value in a database everytime it gets pinged so that we can have a rough estimate of the number of Forecastfox users. You can see the statistic page that we use at http://forecastfox.ensolis.com/logs/status.php. By knowing how many users we have and how many users upgrade, we will have a better idea of what we need to work on. For example, we will know if we should spend time supporting Mozilla and Netscape, and if we need to support migrating/upgrading from early versions. Thank you for understanding.
Requirements:
Firefox
Forecastfox 0.9.0.2 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading Forecastfox 0.9.0.2 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
