Firefox dropping Google to use Yahoo as default search engine

I agree with the crowd that I don't think this'll significantly change search engine volume.
It will however make me use Chrome as my default browser, because I appreciate the ease of just going up to the search bar and using it for Google. Sure, I could spend a few clicks changing it, but I know me, and I'll just use Chrome.
I think this is a silly move, for those that don't bother to change their default browser, they're going to be frustrated. As much as people here like to jump on the "Google sucks" bandwagon, their search engine is miles better than Bing/Yahoo's and each time I accidentally use it I never get good results. Put the same thing into Google, and it gives me exactly what I want. I dunno, money is nice but I'm surprised that they're willing to test the limits of their userbase with Yahoo/Bing in a tight, crowded market where their market share is already being depleted.
