Yahoo! has seen the light and pledged to test against Firefox compatibility when developing new services. No more IE-only restrictions, as now spottily exist throughout the Y! empire. No word, though, on repairing restrictions that now afflict Firefox/Yahoo! users. Would that the entire universe of content providers would see this light. I've been complaining in the Digital Music blog of online music services that don't even allow their catalogs to be viewed, much less accessed, in a non-IE borwser. Yahoo!'s errors in this regard are not nearly so flagrant.
1. Have I been a die-hard Yahoo user since the beginning? Yup.
Do I use many of their premium services? Yup.
Would I start using comparable services elsewhere if they were firefox compatible? Yup.
In order of priority:
-email (graphics and attachments)
-toolbar (done!)
-launchcast
-maps
-photos
-briefcase
