Yandex.Turkey and Mozilla Corporation today announced that Yandex will be the default search engine for Turkish language versions of Firefox on mobile and desktop, starting with Firefox\u2019s next update, planned for the week of March 30th.<\/p>\n
The agreement is part of Mozilla\u2019s new strategy to promote choice by making locally relevant search engines the default in various countries. Introducing Yandex\u2019s enhanced search experience to Firefox users on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android is part of this strategy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very happy to partner with Mozilla and proud that they\u2019ve chosen us as their partner in search\u201d said Milena Djuri\u010di\u0107, COO Yandex.Turkey. \u201cWe have been emphasizing the importance of choice for users in the search engine market since our launch in Turkey, significantly improving our search experience for the Turkish audience all along. It is thrilling to see our efforts bearing fruit once more with this partnership, an important indicator that we have been doing it right.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a commitment to make Firefox a browser for everyone, with more choice, empowering the users. Last year, we ended our\u00a0practice of having a single global default search provider and have in turn adopted a more local and flexible approach in search partnerships.\u201d said Denelle Dixon-Thayer, SVP Business and Legal Affairs Mozilla. \u201cToday, we are excited to announce an extension of our partnership with Yandex \u2013 it now includes Turkish language versions of Firefox. Through testing we confirmed that Yandex has become a very good and locally relevant search engine choice in Turkey and thus has been chosen as the new default for Firefox users.\u201d<\/p>\n
