Weather for Firefox

If you like to keep a close eye on the weather even if you are working or surfing the web, but you don't want a widget or a standalone app, maybe a browser extension will fit your needs. Weather for Firefox is a neat add-on that displays the current temperature on the extension bar and lets you check weather conditions for any city around the world.

Click on the small cloud icon after the extension is installed. When you run it for the first time, the add-on will be auto-detect your location — by checking the IP, probably. If you are satisfied with the location, you can add it to your favorites, by clicking on the star symbol from the upper toolbar.

The layout neatly displays data about the daily and hourly conditions and gives insight for the next five days.

The settings menu is located on the last entry of the sidebar. From there you can change the temperature scale between Fahrenheit and Celsius, and the data refresh time.

Also, you can set the extension to detect the location on every launch or to make your first location the default one. Regarding the extension bar icon, you can choose to display the temperature with one decimal point, or without it.

If you search for other cities, you will replace your default location until the next launch. To avoid spamming the search field, you can mark cities as favorites. All marked locations are going to be listed under the Favorite menu from the sidebar.

Weather for Firefox looks like a handy weather monitor able to display data in real-time, straight from your extension bar. Recommended for users who would like to stay informed about weather conditions in multiple locations and for those who don't want to compromise on screen space.
