Mozilla and Yahoo have teamed up to deliver a new Search Experience for Firefox users, but there is a catch.

This is exclusive to users in the U.S.

As you may already know the browser maker and the Sunnyvale company entered an agreement last year, to make Yahoo as the default search engine in Firefox. This delivered a mighty blow to the previous search provider, which was, Google.

Ever since the partnership began, the two companies have been working together to add more new Yahoo features to Firefox. This included support for Yahoo Mail in the browser’s share function, which allows you to quickly send links to your friends or to yourself, using the [...]

As per the old agreement signed five years ago, Yahoo had to use search results and ads from Microsoft Bing for all desktop searches. It wasn’t so for mobile platforms, for which it could use any service. According to the new deal,  Yahoo is no longer required to use Bing Search Results and Ads on either desktops or mobiles.
