Yahoo To Become Default Search Provider For Firefox

[Jabberwocky]

I don?t think they need more money to make the GUI crappier and remove features, as they?ve done since FF4.

+1 IMO the backend developers are doing a good job, can't say the same for the UX "manager(s)".

Here's some screenshots for you guys of the new search page Yahoo made for Firefox users :P

Is that Search button Bootrstap?
If so, are they seriously loading 60kB for a single button?
If not, why use that grotesque and overused styling at all?

I just checked: no boostrap. The entire landing page (not including images) is only ~55kb. With images it's ~189kb.
I didn't check the results page (after you search something), but I assume it's similarly light.

As for the styling, I assume it's because it's somewhat reminiscent of the old Yahoo style? As in, they've modernized the site and all, but wanted to keep it "Yahoo!" still.

To bad, a purple, flat without rounded corners (a.k.a. 1-2px border radius) would have been the perfect fit
