Forum Response - New Search change

Thank you for your question about the search changes in Firefox. There's been alot of exciting news and we are happy to assist you. What changed? In the US and Canada, all default search engines will be changed to Yahoo. In Russia Yandex Search will become the default search and in China, Baidu will continue to be the default search. However all other searches will still be available in these regions. What this means is that the functionality of the search did not change, just the default search engine. You will see this change in version 34. Would you like to know more about the change?
