Yahoo vows to open all services to Firefox users http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39184793,00.htm

Yahoo has confirmed plans to allow Firefox users to access all its products and services, many of which are currently only available through Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser.

That is really a great news. I’ve been waiting to compose a mail in html with firefox (Now only avilable for IE) and hope the wait will be over soon.

Cheers to Yahoo!

That is what I've been trying to say throughout this debate. However, let's agree to disagree and leave it at that.</p> Praveen: I do not believe it is injustice.

Nobody seems to be getting benefitted from that. The one class of people (OSS hackers) would better prefer Jabber over Yahoo for obvious reasons, the other class of people (mom and dad) are just way comfortable with the existing YM. So the question is how are the users (mom, dad, ..) going to be made happy by opening the protocol? The answer is 'no effect'.</p> Swaroop, Yahoo! need not open the messenger protocol.
