Yahoo, the Next Firefox default search provider in Lucid
There are many changes that will come to Firefox in Lucid but one of them, put a sad smile on my face. According to Rick Spencer, Starting in Ubuntu’s Lucid Lynx release, Firefox’s default search engine will be switched from Google to Yahoo.
I am pursuing this change because Canonical has negotiated a revenue sharing deal with Yahoo! and this revenue will help Canonical to provide developers and resources to continue the open development of Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Platform. This change will help provide these resources as well as continuing to respect our user’s default search across Firefox.
