weather icon on home page not able to change to my location
Hi, I love the new, little weather app/temperature icon in the upper left of the Firefox home page. HOWEVER, I really want to change it to a city closer to me. I looked up how to do it, but the directions seem WRONG. I cannot hover and find any way to change locations. Is it because I'm on a Mac? or ?
Can you help me? I'm using an iMac computer... everything works, it's updated, what could be wrong?
thanks, Kathy P.

You don't have Change location? Enter about:config in the address bar and switch browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.weather.locationSearchEnabled = true.
You need to click the tree-dots that appear if you hover the weather widget .
"Change location" might be disabled/hidden in the three-dot Weather menu, you may need to enable this via about:config.
- about:config => browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.weather.locationSearchEnabled => true

I had the same issue. I got an answer to my exact issue. I was entering zip codes. It does not accept zip codes. Enter city, state and accept the answer in the drop down box. If you simply hit enter after entering in the city state without accepting it in the drop down box, it won't take that info either. FireFox needs to tweek this one.
