Yahoo! Toolbar for Firefox

The Yahoo! Toolbar is now available for Firefox. Not only that, but it works on Mac and Windows operating systems.

Yahoo has fulfilled promises to bring its full range of toolbar features to Firefox, releasing an updated beta with spyware protection. Yahoo Toolbar provides bookmarking and search capabilities, along with translation, mail notification and built-in safeguards against malware.

The new Firefox version also works on Mac and Linux, making Yahoo the first major search provider to support a full range of platforms. According to the company, Yahoo Toolbar was the top Web browser add-on for conducting search queries, overtaking toolbars from competitors Google and Ask Jeeves. Yahoo Toolbar for IE was also updated Wednesday.

Looks like Google isn’t the only one that can cater to Firefox.
