Re: Weatherug begs for forgiveness said by black knight:And For those of Use running the "FOX". You can get 'Weatherfox" FREE. Works great. "Weatherfox" is actually now "ForecastFox," and it's available here.
What is it?
ForecastFox is an extension that brings international weather from The Weather Chanel® to your Firefox web browser. You can use your US zip code or you can easily find your town or city by using the built in search tool. It is unobtrusive and lightweight, yet can be customized to display nearly as much data as the leading desktop weather programs! If you can't find what you are looking for, double-click the weather icons displayed to open the weather.com® forecast for that day. A slider, slimilar to when popup notification for when all downloads complete, pops up from the bottom right corner of your screen when the current conditions are updated. You can even set what appears in it or disable it!
ForecastFox lets you customize everything, from the number of days to be forecasted, to the content of the tooltips. You can decide whether to see the labels, and you can decide what toolbar to place Forecastfox in. The options window is intuitive and makes it fast and easy to change any of the settings you'd like.
The profile system lets you easily change between multiple locations. Each profile saves all of its own settings, including the tooltips and labels, the number of days forecasted and the location of the forecast. There is even a setting that allows you to automatically rotate between the profiles at a given time interval.
Go for it!  | |

Martinsburg, WV | Yeah, I used to use Weatherbug too, uninstalled from all computers and put Weatherfox on my Firefox browser instead, been very pleased, no more annoyances. I actually don't miss the alerts that much, half the time they were annoying non-critical crap that didn't affect me anyways. Oooh, a frost warning, better take an extra 3 seconds to warm the car up in the garage...
