New Default Search Engine For Mozilla : Yahoo!

It finally feels that, Yahoo! is grabbing some attention. The once Software Leader which failed to keep with the race, seems to be back in track with some new deals.


" In a major departure for both Mozilla and Yahoo, Firefox's default search engine is switching from Google to Yahoo in the United States. ", writes Cnet Us Edition.

"I'm thrilled to announce that we've entered into a five-year partnership with Mozilla to make Yahoo the default search experience on Firefox across mobile and desktop," Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer said in a blog post Wednesday. "This is the most significant partnership for Yahoo in five years."

The deal will be in effect from December, after which Yahoo will be bringing a new clean, elegant, modern and impressive search experience to its users. As part of the deal, Yahoo will also support Do Not Track Technology for Firefox users.

"At Yahoo, we believe deeply in search -- it's an area of investment and opportunity for us. It's also a key growth area for us," Mayer said. "This partnership helps to expand our reach in search and gives us an opportunity to work even more closely with Mozilla to find ways to innovate in search, communications and digital content."
