as discussed in some other threads, there are difficulties with some languages.
now, at the moment (germany, 08:06), FCF can connect to to the accu-weather-servers in the language "english" and in "slovenscina" - all other languages don´t work, what means, that FCF doesn´t connect to the accuweather-servers, when these languages are marked (please try it yourself in your country).
this is very strange and I believe, that the problem is in the code of the jar.file of FCF.
can someone of the java-programmers look inside this file?
greetings from germany!

Problem with german language

Some names are in German, some in English. And in Pos1 it rotates ever with message data are loading. Reset not help. When i set language in English, there are no problems, no rotating to load data! Please check this bug.

Hi, I am a Japanese User.


When i set language in English, there are no problems,

When I set it, but the problems are not solved.
When I set location any USA, for ex:New York, there are no problems.
See this Screenshot. Today is Sunday, Tomorrow is Monday....
This screenshot location is Japan Kumamoto.
From this fact, I imagine that or not than not through the location request in forecastfox.
Perhaps I think that it is not under the influence of the add-on (such as Noscript).

Hi.
I found a solution. Try it!

Problem1: When the forecastfox language is non-English, Reload weather data mark  continues to rotate.
Solution;Set the language in english.
Problem2;(NEW:I found): Forecastfox can't catch new weather data.
Solution;Remove your locations and set your locations.

good morning!
I observe all the other threads here: many suggestions - nothing works.
but after all one thing is very strange: here, in germany, FCF updates all marked locations, when the language "english" is set or, very funny, the language "slovenscina", not "slovencina"! please try it for yourself and let us know...
so what could be the reason for this behavior? I believe, that accuweather had made some changes und FCF has not the ability, to follow these changes.
so I´m sure, that only the developper can solve the problem or a java-programmer, who can "look" in the "forecastfox.jar"-file.
greetings from germany!

when you go to "options", then "toolbar display" and then set "current conditions" to "no": what happens then with your FCF?
greetings!

Hello.
I'm very sorry, my solutions are wrong solutions. FCF does not work right now....
Forget my solutionsX(

I checked the connections at FF, Browser console, when FCF caught new weather data.
Here is result:FCF connect to these URL:These URLscan be found in "accuseather-adapter.js"(Search "forecastfox3.accuweather.com".) This JS is in forecastfox.jar.
http://forecastfox3.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox3/current-conditions.asp?location=cityId%3A2338182&metric=0&langId=1
I opened these URL at FF and I tried to reload several times. The contents of the page is not updated.
If you have access to the above URLs, your first access will be success but updating of the data by the reload fails.

I feel like the accuweather.com side of the problem has been(^^;
(Accuweather.com側の問題のようなきがしてきた。)

forecastfox.sqlite is in the profile folder.
However, because this problem also occurs if the profile is new, I think it is not a solution.
(プロファイル作り直してもこの問題起きてるよ)

I can't use English, so sad.

hello to everyone!

i tried nearly all solutions, that were posted in this forum. none of them worked.
but in the meantime i am quite sure, that it must be a problem with the accuweather-servers. I believe that, because the radar is working well, no matter which town or which country is marked. the forecast doesn´t work, but radar is always "just in time" and up to date, always!.
so, if the radar - a part of FCF- works well, then FCF works well. and if FCF works well and only the pure forecast-updating fails, then it must be a problem in the weather-server and only accuweather can solve this. what do you think?
 
greetings!

You may be correct, but I'm not sure that just because the radar and the 5-day buttons are correct and up to date, that this is completely Accuweather's issue.  I have written to Accuweather, as have several others here, but no response yet.  Maybe if everyone went to Accuweather and opened a trouble ticket, they will be more inclined to look into it.  When my Firefox updated to 35.0.1, it said that ForecastFox was no longer compatible.  But, in the meantime ForecastFox has stopped working in Chrome and even in earlier versions of FF.  What we don't know is what kind of agreement the writer of FCF has with Accuweather and who maintains the options/set-up web page for FCF.  If that page goes down, then FCF is dead in the water.
