Firefox

Yahoo appears to be breaking an earlier pledge to support Firefox.

Despite promises earlier this week, Yahoo is backing away from it's pledge to ensure Firefox compatibility with future services. Despite the Gecko core technology being around since 1998, Yahoo has justified backing away from the seven year old rendering engine by stating, "In the grand scheme of things Firefox is still a new technology." With Yahoo recently celebrating it's tenth anniversary, one must wonder when a technology is mature to the Sunnyvale California company. The company representative continued, "I�m not saying we are not going to be developing and exploring other areas -- we are. But there are so many different products on the Yahoo network that there may be some products that are, perhaps, not appropriate for that browser." Yes, Firefox just reached version 1.0 recently, so please don't browse the racier parts of Yahoo without parental supervision.
