Theoretically, this should give Forecastfox a place to reside. Some other add ons used the add on bar just fine.
Does anyone know why the author for FF hasn't just updated to work with 29?

This works temporarily; when ForecostFox updates the weather information (or when I close Firefox), it disappears from the Add-On Bar. Same thing happens when I add it to the Toolbar or to the Menu.
Am I doing something wrong, here? It seems to work just fine for most of you...?
Or did the v29 update just screw up my profile somehow...?
Thanks, bytehead. Changing the attributes in my profile didn't work. I'll try resetting the profile later, but TBH, this seems like a pretty bit PITA for a little weather widget...
What did Mozilla change in v29 that broke ForecastFox? I mean, aside from cosmetically removing the add-on bar?

CLOSE FIREFOX. Otherwise, open files may not be modified like they should be by the next command.Type in:attrib -r * /s /dThat will remove all read-only attributes on all files and directories in your profile. attrib.exe is found in your %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 directory, so there's nothing to download to get that, it's part of Windows.
Restart Firefox. You may have to move it again, but, if that is indeed the problem, your problem is fixed.If it doesn't, the you need to reset your profile (see the about:support page to do that), but that will lose all of your bookmarks and other extensions, so backup your bookmarks and make a list of extensions that you need to reinstall. If THAT doesn't work, then you need to delete and start a new profile. Same thing, you need your bookmarks and list of extensions. I would NOT use a profile backup utility, that backup may contain the issue that is causing this. This way, everything starts out fresh.

It's probably worth noting that I have this same problem on all of my computers: a PC running Win7 Pro, a MacPro running 10.6.8, and an iMac running 10.7, and that the ForecastFox info disappears upon update regardless of whether I'm using Add-On Bar Restore or Classic Theme Restore. That's what led me to believe that it as an issue with v29 itself, or with ForecastFox.
