I used to use Forecastbar Enhanced (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1978) exclusively but I found AniWeather (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12331) is much more dynamic and useful!

http://www.aniweather.com/

AniWeather also works in Google Chrome/Chromium(beta version) as well as Firefox!

I actually use them both; Forecastbar Enhnaced I only use the animated radar in combo mode, while I use AniWeather for the current and daily/nightly forecast.

What if any Weather Forecast Add-on do you use in Firefox?

What if people stopped answering what if threads ;)

I use the age old method of looking outside to check on the weather

I look out the Windows too: 98SE, XP, Vista and glass.
I don't use an addon with Firefox, I use http://home.nzcity.co.nz/weather/?fm=sm

LOL...edited out my previous poor title :P

I also found looking outside usually the best predictor for current conditions but a poor Weather Forecast tool.

I also refer to other websites, I use to use NOAA (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/) exclusively until I realized they only used a weather station about an hour north. Lately I have found Weather Underground (http://www.wunderground.com/) to be more accurate since they use a weather station walking distance from my house.

I find Weather add-ons in Firefox really quick and helpful I like the animated mouseovers in AniWeather:
