    I read the headline to this article and I just couldn't figure out what a Firefox toolbar was, let alone why Yahoo would release one.

    Perhaps a better headline would be "Yahoo toolbar beta for Firefox"

  2. How many toolbars do we need? by cashman73 · · Score: 5, Insightful
    You know, if every popular website/search engine released some sort of toolbar to be added to your web browser, it might make it a bit difficult to see the actual content of the website we're viewing,... When does this all end?

    I mean, currently in Firefox, I have the FF Bookmark toolbar, the BioBar (a FF add-on for biomedical research; PDB, etc), and the google toolbar. Now they want me to add the Yahoo! toolbar?!?! Please!

    Now, a Slashdot Toolbar could be pretty cool, on the other hand,... ;-)

    And Google needs to release the toolbar for Linux.
    Google Toolbar for Firefox already runs on Linux.

    The Firefox extension system is cross-platform, or at least most of it is.
