by Spinach, 5 years agoI like that it does give a wider view of my mail what I absolutely can not deal with is what this add-on does to my searches.
When I have this add-on enabled and use the address bar for a search this add-on adds %2525252525252B between each word in the search.
For instance if I type the following question in the address bar:
What are the 3 elements of a contract?
This is what I get:
What%252525252525252Bare%2525252525225Bthe%25252252252525B3%252525252252525Belements%252525252525Bof%2525252525252525Ba%2525252525Bcontract%252525252525B?
And of course that search leads no-where because it is not reading the 8 words that I originally typed it is reading one long word with a bunch of %252525252525B adding in.
I have no idea why it does that but it is VERY ANNOYING so I have disabled this add-on and will never use it again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ninorc, a year agoStopped working again. Yahoo has become a really effective advertiser for using a private mail client.

- Rated 1 out of 5by wardog61, 3 years agoThis really sucks, yahoo changes it's setting on it's own every so often and it stops working. This is frustrating as I have yahoo as my search engine...smfh!! maybe it's time to search somewhere else for better service.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16036925, 4 years agoY! Mail becomes more usable with the extension installed, but I prefer using a different search engine, in particular, I like Google's specialized searches, like the one you get when you search for a song.
There is a greater concern, however. I have had trouble with security on a company managed machine and lots of reports for unapproved activity. Mostly when I use Yahoo Mail. I have so many when the extension is enabled, that my account is locked.
I had no time to investigate more deeply which kind of requests come from the extension, but as a precaution I have uninstalled it completely. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15165139, 4 years agoThis works with "Google" as the "default search extendion" as well, but then goes away after a few days if you don't change over your "default search engine" to "Yahoo".... THAT'S fuckin BULLSHIT because "Google" is the better "search engine", and also, it really shouldn't MATTER which "search engine" you use, as this extension has to do with your EMAIL...
