Duke Fan (Yahoo! Toolbar Product Manager) writes in Yahoo! Search Blog:

If you've been following Asa's blog, you probably already know that Firefox is well on its way to 25 million downloads worldwide. Well Yahoo! has certainly noticed and believe me, Firefox is very popular here at Yahoo! too.

However, a lot of us also rely on the convenience of Yahoo! Toolbar, and now we can make the switch to Firefox too. For the last month, we've been working with a team of Yahoos from around the company who have provided some Mozilla expertise to build the beta version of the Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox.

Gary Price has a short post on SEW blog.

Rich Ord posted a short review of this new Yahoo! Firefox toolbar.

The end of Yahoo Directory?

Yahoo directoryFew hours ago, Agent Web Ranking Search Engine Research Center received an alert about Yahoo IT. Yahoo IT has removed from its results the Directory search option.

As you can see, this option is still available on:

  • (Guide)
  • (Verzeichnis)
  • (Directory)

But not anymore on

At this stage we do not know if it is a bug or a test from Yahoo IT or even if this search option will also be removed from the other Yahoo. If you do have any informations on this, do not hesitate to post here.

  • Few hours after we published this article, our Search Engine Research Center noticed that Yahoo IT is back to normal. Jeremy Zawodny or another YahooGuy may have read this article ;=)
  • Sébastien Billard will not be surprized if Yahoo removes the directory search for Yahoo FR as Yahoo stopped, few weeks ago, the Yahoo Express submission fee and as Yahoo has nearly stopped to update Yahoo directory for France since.
