Yahoo releases a Firefox toolbar

Beta than before

SEARCH OUTFIT Yahoo has released a beta tool bar for the Open Source browser Firefox.
The move indicates the increasing popularity for Fireferret, which has been gobbling up small amounts of Internet Explorer’s market share.

It might also mean that Yahoo is following the lead of Google, which has had a search bar installed into the browser for yonks now.

The Yahoo browser does not do much other than look for information on the web, Yahoo or on a particular website. There's also a search history to check previous searches.

It does provides mail notification and alerts for subscribers of Yahoo's email service.
