Either company should provide a free email address without the need for an additional download of Firefox.

Mozilla provides Yahoo with a version of Mozilla Firefox that is customized for Yahoo's users. You don't need either a Yahoo or Google account to use Firefox. You can continue to use your AOL account through Firefox.
