DHAKA: Just one week after announcing a new search partnership with Yahoo, Mozilla is rolling out a new Firefox interface that will enable one-click searches for an array of specific search engines.
A report, published on toptechnews, said that in addition to a set of pre-installed search engines, the new interface will also allow users to specify other search engines for one-click queries.
Following the recent expiration of a 10-year agreement with Google, Mozilla announced a five-year partnership making Yahoo the default choice for desktop and mobile Relevant Products/Services searches on its Firefox Web browser in the USA.
Mozilla also said it was changing its search strategy to move away from offering a single global search provider. Instead, the company plans to adopt a "more local and flexible approach . . . with new and expanded search partnerships by country."
With the new Firefox interface set to come out "soon," users will be able to either select a default search engine or specify a variety of search engines to appear on the search bar. The pre-installed selections will include Google, Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, DuckDuckGo, eBay, Twitter or Wikipedia.
