Good morning and thanks for forecasrfox! I too have used it for many years and enjoy it. I am in Brazil using have v5.2 and when I click on "details" all I get is a blank page...unless I use a vpn. Can this be fixed?

Hi Oleksandr,

yes! I click on the "details" link and just get a blank page, and when I clicked on either of the links you provided I get a blank page. If I use a they all work. This is the link for my "details" - https://www.accuweather.com/en/br/cosme-velho/2729712/weather-today/2729712?lang=en-us

Used to work fine...

Thanks for your response and help.

this is very strange.
Is there no access to www.accuweather.com in Brazil?
but do you get weather data inside the extension?

I don't know if you fixed things but I changed dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 and forecastfox and accuweather are working now. Will see if they continue to
Thanks, Allan

Hi Oleksandr, forecastfox and accuweather are still working properly after changing dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1. I guess the ones through the internet provider here blocked accuweather for some reason...used to work but who knows.

Yes I was able to see the weather through the extension popup box but got a blank page when I wanted "details". All is good now though!

Have a great weekend! Allan

Hi Oleksandr,

Thanks for all your hard work in getting FF working again. Works ok here in Chrome! FF is the best wx extentsion I've ever used.

A contribution is headed your way!

Regards

Max
