Yahoo released a beta version of its Web browser toolbar for users of the Mozilla Firefox browser on Thursday, offering bookmarks, newsfeeds, and search and translation tools.
The beta version of the toolbar requires Firefox 1.0 for Windows and is available as a free download. It also includes features such as the ability to search a site, Yahoo Mail notifications and alerts, and buttons for access to the Internet company's games, finance, news, and sports sites, among others.

The release comes on the heels of reports that Firefox is quickly gaining in popularity, although it still holds a small portion of the market compared to Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer browser. The Yahoo Toolbar has been available to IE users for some time.

    I'm not exactly sure, but didn't things like this create some of the vulnerabilites in some computers. By puttings things like this into web browsers will begin to allow more people to exploit firefox by using any vulnerabilities in the toolbar itself.
