Yahoo will supplant Googles search engine on Firefoxs Web browser in the U.S., signalling Yahoos resolve to regain some of the ground that it has lost in the most lucrative part of the Internets ad market. The five-year alliance announced Wednesday will end a decade-old partnership in the U.S. between Google Inc. and the Mozilla Foundation, which oversees the Firefox browser. The tensions between Google and Mozilla had been rising since Googles introduction of the Chrome browser in 2008 began to undercut Firefox. Googles current contract with Mozilla expires at the end of this month, opening an opportunity for Yahoo to pounce. Even though Chrome is now more widely used, Firefox still has a loyal audience that makes more than 100 billion worldwide search requests annually.
