WeatherBug ❍ Rock Your Firefox

WeatherBug

Friday, Sep 3, 2010

Live local weather, right in your browser. Get detailed forecasts, radar, news and severe weather alerts.

Ah, Labor Day. Just as summer starts to slip away, we get a second chance. A healthy stretch of a long weekend to make it easier to say goodbye to things like lemonade stands, ridiculous amounts of daylight, and pool parties. Mix up a batch of potato salad, crack open a beer and gather friends around the BBQ. So what’s the one thing that can rain on this parade?

That’s right:

Rain.

You can’t do anything about the weather this holiday weekend, but you can find out about it ahead of time with WeatherBug.

After you install WeatherBug, you’ll see a button in the lower right hand corner of your browser:

Click that button and you can set up all the right weather specs for where you live:

Then see your weather at the bottom of your browser:

Or the top:

Install WeatherBug just in time for the change of seasons, and you won’t regret it.

The add-on could not be downloaded because of a connection failure on addons.mozilla.org

  Thanks Ian,
  
  I’m sorry this didn’t work for you!
  
  It should work okay for those of you not using a beta version of Firefox.
  
  But I’ll follow up and see what’s going on with 4.0b4 and this add-on and hopefully get more info for Ian and others.
  
  Thanks for reading–
  Elise

You already reviewed this one in March. Already repeating things?

Not meaning to sound like a conspiracy nut but are the WeatherBug people paying you for promoting their product? This is the second time you’ve made it a featured product (Mar 25, 2010) and frankly, there are other weather products that are just as good or better. In fact, Weather Bug has a somewhat checkered past–enough so, that personally I would recommend people avoid this product.

I wouldn’t download this add-on in a million years. The weatherbug service that can be downloaded is the most virus/ad bot attached service there is. I would suspect a plug-in for a browser would end up the same way.

Downloaded Weatherbug. Won’t accept my area. No good for Australia?

Isn’t WeatherBug classified as adware, and at one time spyware?
