In North America, Yahoo is now the Default Search Engine for Firefox

search engine provider

Mozilla has been quite fast about changing its Default search engine provider to Yahoo. For the first time in many years, Google has been replaced by Yahoo with Firefox 34 update. Though it is still limited to North America, but it means it will soon be applied everywhere. Now North American users will be asked to set Yahoo as their default browser when they update to Firefox 34. Of course, users will still have the option to keep the later one if they are more comfortable with it.

For others, with the Firefox 34 update they will get an improved version of search bar where they would be able to search within other third-party website like Wikipedia, Amazon or Twitter with Firefox’s latest one click search. This new feature will help save time while searching results from other websites. Furthermore, Mozilla’s latest Hello Chat client will also be available in the latest version of Firefox. It’s a free service which lets the user have video or audio calls with other people right from their browser. In Firefox 34 Mozilla has also disabled SSL 3.0 due to the vulnerability in the design of SSL 3.0 revealed by Google.
