Yahoo released a beta version of its Web browser toolbar for users of the Mozilla Firefox browser on Thursday, offering bookmarks, newsfeeds, and search and translation tools.
The beta version of the toolbar requires Firefox 1.0 for Windows and is available for free download from Yahoo’s site. It also includes features such as the ability to search a site, Yahoo Mail notifications and alerts, and buttons for access to the Internet company’s games, finance, news and sports sites, among others. While the Firefox toolbar is still in a beta version, Yahoo said it plans to add its antispyware tool to the product soon. The Sunnyvale, California, Internet company added its antispyware tool to the IE version of the toolbar last year.
