Mozilla Firefox replaces default Google search engine with Yahoo

A report has said that Mozilla is replacing Google as the default search engine with Yahoo for users in the United States.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Mozilla and Yahoo said that they had sealed a five-year partnership that will provide a "framework" for other possible integrations and deals, reported Stuff.co.nz.

The move follows tensions between Mozilla and Google with the search giant's Chrome browser stealing away Firefox's market share for years.
