I feel nostalgia for IE6 toolbars now. This was the wrong way to integrate Yahoo into Firefox. Firefox should have done it as an "option" rather than Yahoo doing the reverse. They successfully made this version of Firefox feel like a crapware toolbar analog that will sniff my browsing history and add no value to my browsing experience or life. Google, on the other hand, successfully did what Yahoo is trying to do. They released what was perceived to be a new browser: Google Chrome. Few had heard of Chromium before Google massaged the codebase it into Google Chrome, but everybody's heard of Firefox. Yahoo should have developed the Super Awesome Browser 9000 (even if they used a previously unknown browser as a starting point -- Opera doesn't count) instead of just slapping some branding on one of the most popular and famous browsers. Perhaps they also thought piggy backing on the Firefox branding was going to help them; it won't. I predict this version of Firefox will be adopted by almost nobody, primarily because nobody really cares about Yahoo; their search just isn't up to snuff and their relevance is slowly fading. Yahoo is on borrowed time and they're executing poorly. Oh, and fuck you Yahoo for not making your crapware available to Linux users.
