Is anyone running the Gnome weather extension? I have disabled it and
my system is running better. Or rather FIrefox is working 'right' again.
This extension gets its weather information from the Norway weather
service, and you can't change this. I had noticed that many places I
was going to in Firefox took a long time to reply. It was as if Firefox
was hanging, and other Firefox windows were not responding either.
I finally fired up wireshark and I was seeing that requests for things
like apis.google.com (or some such) was being routed through a .no site
(by reverse lookup on IP address). Perhaps this extension was altering
Firefox's proxy settings.
I don't have the time or resources to do a serious review, but I am
pointing this out and perhaps others may have noticed this as well. Or
are suffering and not knowing it. This may be accidental or really
actually malicious; just don't know.
