Yahoo To Become Default Search Provider For Firefox

[Pajn]

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

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.

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

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)".

It is Yahoo! not Yahoo?

Yahoo! stock has gone nothing but up since Ms Meyers took charge.

$47.84 B Market Cap
6.74 P/E ratio
$51.25 per share


Yes, Yahoo! is becoming very solvent and nothing but a long-term growth stock.

Let's see, they have a shitty news aggregator. They have a shitty email service. They have a shitty ad network flush with scams. They have a shitty front-end to a shitty search engine.

Yeah, definitely a long term growth stock.

A couple of clicks and it's back to Google or DuckDuck Go.

I feel the same way. It's not as big of an issue as when IE did the same because Firefox makes it really easy to switch it.

lets see...

yahoo groups suck

yahoo took over eurosport's webpage. Which is a complete suckfest since then. Including videos where the advertisement loads, the video doesn't.

yahoo uses bing for searches, which is like searching in complete darkness, without hands.

Nice choice, mozilla!
