In a major departure for both Mozilla and Yahoo, Firefox's default search engine is switching from Google to Yahoo in the United States.
"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 change will come to Firefox users in the US in December, and later Yahoo will bring that new "clean, modern and immersive search experience" to all Yahoo search users. In another part of the deal, Yahoo will support the Do Not Track technology for Firefox users, meaning that it will respect users' preferences not to be tracked for advertising purposes.

Only in the US?

They are ready to do that change for a long time I believe.
I wanted to install the Google toolbar to a newer version of FF and it wasn't available.

That sounds good, on the face of it.

In reality we all get tracked on the net and there's not much you can do about it, without going to extremes.

People have got used to google, so they'll just set up a bookmark or something to search with google.

Congratulations Foxi daddy ! I am very honoured that you would choose me for this obviously important role in your babies christian lives.

Unfortunately even though I am one of the admirers of your obvious talents, ie. eating two Magnums at once while at the same time as patting your cat, I have to decline this important position because of my own very strong belief which requires me to be in front of my computer every day therefore not being able to devote any time to your adorable offspring's spiritual lives.

Your devoted Forum friend.
