I think it's a great program, but why doesn't it show Canadian data?

first, five stars so not to mess your record - this program is apparently loved by geolovers,not so well liked depending on distance from a fault.
Anyway: 1) if this program actually has feature to use speakers to rumble system, please make them off-able.
2) it *may* be possible to choose report centers, at least in US, where data from Lamont-Dougherty (n of NYC) would be the most immediately critical. If they jump, bigtime, I head for door, because a) shockwave may not have reached me yet, b) at 4 mi inland on a barrier island, I want to be 10 mi inland and turn to the tsunami reports when I get there.
Note for I want MY nation, this *could* and should be an ez-patch, just changing the line for the nearest observatory and its data format. BUT if the Big One hits out West (boy is us going to need world help!) every station is going to report it, If Aetna breaks its slumber, local station *wherever* will be jumping, and (wishing no nation or region any more of an earthquake than I'd want) ditto for recent big one in China, though BIG in terms of damage might nogt be big on a the local scale, villages are crushed by minor temblors if not built to code, and there are reports saying the Appalachian Fault Line could go as easily as the California plate complex or elsewhere on the Ring of Fire.

This is a very nice extension to Firefox, but I would suggest an improvement: a filter of countries, so that we can choose the places from which we want to receive earthquake information. Because I live in Portugal and I don't care about earthquakes in other places, but would really like to know up-to-date information about the activity in my country, or others of my choice. Other nice improvement would be maps with the locations of recent earthquakes, much like the 'Radar' option in ForecastFox.

Great addition to Firefox. I live in North Idaho mining country. The Osburn Fault runs almost through our backyard. We get a slight jitter every now and then. I use eQuake Alert in text mode. Would love to see it modified to have differing text colors for various magnitudes. i.e. green for M2.5 - 4.5, yellow for M4.6 - 6.5, red for M6.6 - 10, maybe even bold red for a 10.

Great little add on. Just in the past hour it has given me two quake alerts and I like that I can use a right click to get to the USGS page to check the stats of the quake. I noticed that someone mentioned that the window didn't shake, it won't if you have your browser maximized but I usually have mine at a smaller size as I'm dragging and dropping a lot.

Brilliant, I'm a geology student and literally addicted to this; will be really useful for research / playing I'm sure!

Super extension! Our family & friends are all natural history / science buffs, so this is good fun for us. Also, I've been showing it to customers with children, as it is a fine entry point to geology, seismology, geography, social studies, ad infinita depending on the youngster in question. Keep it up!!

It's a good extension for people who are interested in earthquakes. The two things I don't like is that it takes up a lot of room in the status bar, and it doesn't shake the window during an earthquake although it should.

I live in Reno, NV where we have had over 100 Earthquakes over the past few days. This cool little tool allowed me to know what the magnitude was in real time, and simply by clicking on it, it wisks you away to the USGS site for specific info IE.. longitude, latitude and other misc info. If you live in a Earthquake area or simply have an interest in the subject this add on is for you!

I've installed & uninstalled equake alert a few times because after letting Firefox minimized for a bit, I go to maximize the browser & only the TOP part shows. I have to drag it to full page. I've tried X'ing out & clicking File>exit to fix it,but nothing. What can I do? I love it,but its frustrating.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.0).Thanks for the feedback. Fixed the issue..

I like this extension, but it keeps resizing my window when I open Firefox. I had to uninstall it, it was driving me mad.

After downloading the latest version of eQuake I began having problems with pages in a constant reload mode. It would happen when I tried to log into PayPerPost, and thereafter, every page I visited until I closed FF. I finally had to disable and delete the program. The program itself worked fine, and I really liked it since I live in "earthquake country" (aka WA state) but I need to be able to access PPP. Thanks!

eQuake Alert is the kind of program(add-on or otherwise)that spans the gap between science and novelty.Add this to a classroom,the interest may be contagious.Thanks!

Great add-on. I had no idea there were so many earthquakes in the world and so many in Alaska. I gave this add-on to all my family and friends. They like too. Thanks!

This is perfect for people who are interested in keeping up with seismic activity. I like the way it shakes your browser to alert you, and displays where the quake happened and the magnitude in your status bar. Excellent!

Okay, being a california resident...Im not looking forward to feeling it first and then having my browser shake... but this is really cool. Alright, in total honesty, the first unexpected blur of the browser is disconcerting... but from then on... awesome... I now know when to call friends on shakey ground...
