Yahoo! Releases Firefox version of Toolbar

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the serious-sites-demand-toolbars dept.

kidlinux writes "Yahoo started offering a beta version of its toolbar for the open source browser Firefox on Microsoft Windows on Wednesday, with versions for Linux and MacOS X following 'shortly.' I think it's safe to say most people use Google in their Firefox toolbar search field. Yahoo probably wants to get their foot in the door before it's too late. It would be interesting if this was a result of user demand. And apparently this follows Amazon's Firefox toolbar, which actually is a result of user demand."

    Now /. just has to get rid of that constantly duping timothy and it might be OK. Although where's the story about lokitorrent.com?

      Yup, I tried submitting about lokitorrent... I even provided a link to this enlightening article. But the /. editors, in all their wisdom, apparently don't think that many /.'ers will be interested in finding out about lokitorrent.

    Have you ever stopped for a minute to consider that "Brad" is a short for "Bradley", which is arguably the gayest name in the entire universe? How strange that anybody would want to make the world know he's called Brad.

    Anyway, must be going...
