Yahoo said late Wednesday that it has released a test version of its toolbar for the Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
By Reuters
Toolbars from companies such as Yahoo enable users to go directly to particular services, such as e-mail or Web search, by simply clicking on an icon.
Yahoo says on its download page that people can customize and access the toolbar from any PC.
Amazon.com's A9.com search unit also offers a toolbar for Firefox, an open-source browser that is gaining in popularity as an alternative to Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer.
Yahoo rival Google recently hired the lead engineer of the Firefox Web browser, fueling speculation that Google will create its own version of Firefox to take on Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
