homerj79 writes "News.com.com is reporting that Yahoo! has pledged full support of Firefox across its entire site. Despite its search bar for Firefox, which was launched in February, users still had to revert back to IE for certain features of Yahoo, like customizing your Yahoo Messenger avatar via the web. A specific date has not been set, but the company did say it would not launch any new services until all existing one supported Firefox." Update: 03/18 18:24 GMT by Z : GraffitiKnight (among many others) wrote in to mention that the claim has been retracted by the Yahoo! central office.

Well, this is certainly a cause for celebration.
What word could we yell in exultation?
Something short and perhaps cowboy-based?

Yeeeha!

I was just swearing at Yahoo! Movies last night, for promising to show me a movie trailer and then telling me at the last moment that I couldn't do it in Firefox. This was on a Mac, so I wasn't about to do it in IE.

Yeah, way to go.

Let's go back to Lynx.

Nah, let's go back to Gopher!

Or let's just ditch the Internet, and bring back the BBS! :)

Yeah, and then you can upgrade from Firefox to a good browser like Safari.

If I wanted to go on a Safari, I would have.

I'd rather twirl Fire with the Foxes.

News.com.com is reporting that Yahoo! has pledged full support of Firefox across its entire site.

So does this mean we should all start getting our news from Yahoo instead of Slashdot?

:D

Might I suggest changing your reality browser settings. It would seem that it failed to render the fairly obvious <Sarcasm> tags on the parent comment.
