FoxClocks 2

FoxClocks 2 is now available for download at addons.mozilla.org. Feature requests, bug reports and general gossip are very welcome in the comments, but if you’re having a problem, please check the FoxClocks FAQ and search the comments below for a solution before posting. Thanks!

Here’s what’s new in FoxClocks 2:

  • Keep up-to-date: automatic time zone database updates
  • Behind a firewall? update automatically from your LAN
  • Choose the right time zone more easily: new Zone Picker
  • Show your clocks in the statusbar/toolbar, just in a tooltip (mouseover), or both
  • Style your clocks: bold, italic, etc
  • Set your clocks to change colour: e.g. make your clocks green from 9 to 5 local time
  • Sort your clocks by name or local time
  • Move your FoxClocks settings between computers

Let us know what you think.

  1. Yes, FoxClocks doesn’t work in Firefox 4.0b1. It _will_ work for the final non-beta, but perhaps not before then.

    Hi!
    The time of Germany is wrong! It is shown as one hour later than in reality. What is the problem?

    Re: tz database 2010i
    Outdated/missing info for Vietnam:
    Hanoi (capital city) not shown
    Saigon is now called Ho Chi Minh City (largest city in Vietnam)

  4. Regarding missing cities, this FAQ is relevant:

    http://www.stemhaus.com/firefox/foxclocks/news/foxclocks-faq/#FAQ-nocity

    Having said that, I should add Hanoi, since it’s the capital – thanks for letting me know.

    Apparently Ho Chi Minh is still commonly called Saigon…

    This is a really good and helpful tool. Thanks a million!
    Works well with Firefox 3.6.6.
    Hope to see the release for Firefox 4.0 soon.

    Dear Andy,

    Thanks for a great add-on.
    Just wanted to mention that the biggest city of Vietnam no longer is called Saigon, these days it´s called Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC).

    Thanks

    Stig

    Hi!
    I have downloaded this just now: thanks for this software: I work on the net and hence, had needed such a software for time verification in a few other countries for posting my articles accordingly. It would be of real help to me. Thanks again.

    Has potential but when I set up the Australian Mainland capital cities (GMT + 8) the times all display at least one day out of sync??

  9. Karl says:

    Downloaded/Installed FoxClocks 2.6.18 on Firefox 3.6.8. I cannot find/see FoxClocks anywhere on my screen

  10. Karl says:

    perhaps it works only if one donates, but it should be free, right?

  11. barry says:

    There is no custom format selections, nor custom format tags, for specifying day-of-the-week. Any ideas?

  12. chad says:

    FOXCLOCKS will not display on status bar anymore. Can it be fixed please.

  13. Sac says:

    Bloody handy add-on. Saves a lot of brain work.

    I’ve noticed that if using the 24hr format, if the time is earlier than 10am it will not have the leading “0″ on it. e.g.- 845 instead of 0845.

    Any chance of a fix for this?

  14. A report has been marvellous, appreciate berbagi!

  15. Justus says:

    It worked fine till few days ago when first dissappear from bar, then when I tried to look into add-ons if enabled it gave a script error causing Mozilla Firefox (v. 3.6.8) not responding. After I reinstalled it and worked ok for about one day, I had the same issue.
    Any idea? Tks

  16. Jaffar says:

    Since last week the time for Cairo is incorrect — it shows one hour later than it really is. Thanks for taking care of this.

  17. Lewarx says:

    Your keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Q) is in conflict with Thunderbird shortcut for “Paste as Quotation”. It used to be Ctrl+Shift+V until Thunderbird 3.1, where is changed to Ctrl+Shift+Q.

  18. Mark says:

    Would you consider adding a tool to Foxclocks to input any time of any zone and output the time on your chosen time zone? E.g. if I am attending an online event on Wednesday, September 1st at 9:00pm Eastern output the time in GMT.

    This would be a really useful addition to Foxclocks as at the moment I have to go to a website to do this. I’d rather just open up Foxclocks and from the “Tools” menu select “Time Zone Converter”.

    :-)

    Using latest FoxClocks on stable Firefox release.
    If I rename a city name (Washington, DC –> DC), sometimes the country flag disappears.

  20. Shenelles says:

    Foxclocks worked until I notice I can’t see it anymore in my bottom screen, can anyone help me how to fix this? I loved this addon, I hope anyone can help me on what to do. Thank you.
