If I download Firefox from the Mozilla Web site, how Yahoo is involved?

I don't know why, but people think downloading firefox from mozilla.org you will get the version of Yahoo or Yahoo has somehow bought Mozilla. You now have partnerships with Google, Yahoo and Bing search, but if people want the original rather than the Yahoo version Firefox, they should know that they can still come to rather than get you it from Yahoo. I've seen a lot of spam from Yahoo servers so personally, I don't use Yahoo and don't trust that download of Firefox that Yahoo is actually a safe download. Yahoo has created its own custom Firefox because Microsoft do not let them create a custom Internet Explorer more. That's the only reason. I think that you should insist that Yahoo do much more to increase its security, and you should get the message that Firefox is still available in its original form on the Mozilla site and that has nothing to do with Yahoo.

To add to what has been said:

Mozilla allows its 'partners' to distribute customized Firefox, such as "Firefox optimized for Yahoo" versions, but Mozilla must approve the customizations. For more information, see

Please note that any customizations to Firefox and other branded products intended for distribution require Mozilla's approval. For further information on our distribution policies, please see the Policies section.
