December 2, 2005 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – The newest version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser (version 1.5) (http://www.mozilla.com) will offer Answers.com (http://www.answers.com) for reference and definition lookup. Answers.com will be embedded in the browser to provide an immediately accessible search toolbar for user to access. "We are proud to be included as the dictionary and reference solution in Firefox, which claims over 100 million downloads to date," said Bob Rosenschein, Answers' CEO. "This serves as further validation of our 'one-stop answers' approach."
The version of Answers.com available to Firefox users offers extra functionality including "right-click menu" lookup and a search sidebar. The agreement between Answers.com and Mozilla calls for a share of revenue generated by advertising on Answers.com.
"Firefox 1.5 will deliver a better Web experience for our tens of millions of users," said Christopher Beard, vice president of products for Mozilla Corp. "We believe that including Answers.com in the Firefox search toolbar supports our goal of providing a Web browser that empowers people to look up facts more effectively on the Web."
