Yahoo? That is not going to happen. I will use Yahoo, I've already tested Yahoo and has failed me. Yahoo sucks.
SourceMozilla today rolled out Firefox 34. While most browser updates these days aren’t all that exciting, this one includes a couple of interesting new features. What most users in North America will notice right off the bat, however, is that this is the first version of Firefox with Yahoo as its default search experience.
It’s easy enough to change the default search engine in Firefox, and I would guess that most current users will quickly switch back to Google. The Yahoo Search experience, which the company specifically tweaked for Firefox users, is perfectly all right for most searches. But at the end of the day, it feels like it doesn’t have some of Google’s smarts, especially when it comes to queries that would usually trigger Google’s Knowledge Graph.

Yahoo? That is not going to happen. I will use Yahoo, I've already tested Yahoo and has failed me. Yahoo sucks.
I switched to Bing. Google has become too big and too intrusive for me.
Google mail account ... deleted.
Google docs ... deleted, and replaced with OneDrive.
Google maps ... replaced with Bing.
A new low for FireFox...They just keep falling into the browser abyss and soon to become irrelevant.
I use duckduckgo.com for most searches and revert to google for the odd chore. Quite happy with FF and don't see it "falling into the abyss" at all. I use it for most of my browsing. I keep Chrome for news-reading etc and have it set to save... nothing.
A while ago I went into the manage search providers link and deleted Yahoo and a few other search engines from FF, it updated to 34 a few days ago and I have no yahoo in sight
I've had my FF search box set to Wikipedia for ages.
When I downloaded the v.34 update, the search box remained set to Wikipedia.
When I looked at the choices for search engines, all that was listed was Amazon, Ebay, Wikipedia and DuckDuckGo.
Yahoo as an option was/is nowhere to be seen.
