Why is there a Yahoo! menu on the menu bar of my browser?

As part of the continuing effort to make Yahoo!'s products accessible to people with diverse use requirements (screen readers, voice control, keyboard-only access, etc.), Yahoo! Toolbar now provides access to its features through the standard menu of the Mozilla Firefox browser. This approach ensures simple, quick access to the shortcuts and services provided by the Rogers Yahoo! Toolbar.

In addition, some Rogers Yahoo! Toolbar users prefer to hide the toolbar to save screen space. This menu allows access to all the toolbar functionality using the smallest possible screen space.
