Firefox drops Google for Yahoo

Yahoo Inc struck a deal with Firefox maker Mozilla Corp to replace Google Inc as the default search engine on the Firefox Web browser in the United States, a move that Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer said will help boost its flagging search market share.

Your move Google.

i don't think Google need to move because the first thing people will search when they see Yahoo is "Google" :lol:

The Mozilla deal means that users of the Firefox browser in the U.S. will automatically be routed to search results on Yahoo’s website when they type a query into the small box that appears at the top of the browser.

No need as it only effects the small search box that appears at the top of the browser.

ok, once reformulated...

both have oo in his name ;-) these are abbreviations for "2 small nice guys" ;-))

of course the user can any time change the search engine, in germany was the new search engine "DuckDuckGo" :-)

I personally do not use this little quick search bar

I do, but I set it back to google.

I set it to ddg on my mobile and desktop Firefox. I never really got the big deal about what was default, but a large # of people just leave the default and wonder why googling something searches yahoo (or bing or or or) now

I knew it changed and I still let out an audible "wtf" when my search went to Yahoo! :lol:
