Did the update and it complained about Google Toolbar Version 7.1.20110512W not be compatible. Which it has been saying for many versions, but with Add On Compatibility Reporter installed it can be made to work (and does fine for me, but some features (which I don't use in it) may not work) It also complained about Firefox 3 Theme For Firefox 4+ 2.01 as not being compatible, but it works just fine. Otherwise all ok (so far)

Forecast Fox 2.2.1 did not work with Firefox 16 .. not sure if it would update by checking for update, but there is a version 2.2.2 that does work (and is not yet on the Mozilla add on page) .. for those that need it you can get it from the developer ... see below

Hi all,

I've updated Firefox to support the latest versions of Firefox. You can try it here:


https://static.getforecastfox.com/downloads/forecastfox-latest.xpi


The problem was a small race condition with how Forecastfox starts up. I'm not sure what in Firefox changed but we worked around it. Let me know how it works for you and I'll post it to AMO.

there's nothing to do you jerk :rolleyes: it's a link that you click on

It gave me a password/username prompt due to heavy load on the server at that time

and this is not a final! this is an RC! (release candidate)

Probably 99.999999% of the time, the final release and last RC are the same thing with Mozilla releases. If you check some of the more developer oriented sources, you'll even see officials saying that RC2, RC3, or whatever, are the same thing as the final version.

seems to be working fine so far, except for the forecastfox thing (which I fixed).

Help > About Firefox > Check for Updates downloaded and then installed 16.0.1.

Looks like 16.0.1 is available on the site now too.

Just updated mine this morning. I am surprised Mozilla released 16.0 with a hole in it.
