Opening an App

All Apps open a Web page when clicked, just like clicking a link in your Favorites or Bookmarks. The bonus of many Toolbar Apps is that they include a menu with options that link you to a specific page within the website. For example, you can go straight to the compose page in Yahoo! Mail or go to the Dining Guide on Yahoo! Food?.

Apps with a menu of options include an arrow to the right of the icon/label.
