Yahoo Pledges Full Firefox Support

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-have-to-love-the-fox dept.

homerj79 writes "News.com.com is reporting that Yahoo! has pledged full support of Firefox across its entire site. Despite its search bar for Firefox, which was launched in February, users still had to revert back to IE for certain features of Yahoo, like customizing your Yahoo Messenger avatar via the web. A specific date has not been set, but the company did say it would not launch any new services until all existing one supported Firefox." Update: 03/18 18:24 GMT by Z : GraffitiKnight (among many others) wrote in to mention that the claim has been retracted by the Yahoo! central office.

  1. Ahhhh.... but when will Slashdot? by Sp0r · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I don't know about the rest of you, but whenever I browse Slashdot with Firefox the page just doesn't seem to be drawn correctly. But then, there's always the possibility that I'm crazy.

    I don't, I Google.
    Makes me want to give Yahoo a try for some of their other content though. Nice job!

  3. That's good, I think... by melonman · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Last time I installed some plugin or other with IE (shockwave I think), Yahoo promptly took over the menu bar, and I've yet to work out how to undo the damage. So now this will happen to Firefox too? And this is something to celebrate?
