发帖数: 1034 | 1 Yahoo is putting some site real estate behind its browser ally, Mozilla
Firefox. At a variety of Yahoo sites (like Flickr) today you can see a small
link at the upper right saying “Upgrade to the new Firefox.”
When you click the link you go to a Firefox download page that says: “
Choose Independent. Choose Firefox.”
Screen Shot 2014-12-12 at 12.29.57 PMThe link to the download page appears
if you are using a Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Opera browser. However, if
you use Apple’s Safari browser you won’t see it.
Mozilla and Yahoo announced a five-year partnership on November 19 in which
Firefox will make Yahoo the default search engine in its browser —
replacing Google.
Firefox users would be introduced to a “new enhanced Yahoo Search
experience” starting in December, the companies said.
Firefox had used Google’s search engine since 2004, but when the renewal of
the agreement came due this year the two companies parted ways.
The partnership between Yahoo and Firefox may end up helping both — and
both need help. Firefox’s user numbers have been declining for years, and
Yahoo search lags behind rivals Microsoft Bing and Google Search. |
