Firefox - Forecastfox

I just installed Forecastfox extension for my firefox browser. This extension is very nice done. It shows me today's weather plus the next two days forecast.

I guess I have to go learn how to build firefox extension. Maybe I can build an extension to help people to automatically download all the external libraries that are required for OpenSSO project. :-)

Forecast Fox is one of the extension that can reside in the menu bar a space that normally used, so if you have more than a few extensions the bottom of the status bar becomes to crowded to use forecast fox helps combat that problem.

I totally agree on this. In fact I already ran into this issue. Yesterday, I went crazy and installed a few more extensions such as Cookie Watcher :-).

Do you know if firefox core team has any suggestions on this issue?
