I see that Yahoo is partnering with you. Does that mean Yahoo can track my searches via Firefox?

I just want to know if Mozilla keeps my searches private or if that info is shared with Yahoo if I use Firefox but don't use Yahoo to do a search.

Whatever website you use to do your search on can keep track of that, however, Mozilla and Firefox will not keep track of your searches. If you use Yahoo to search in Firefox, all that happens in that Yahoo will see your searches, if your use Google, only Google will see your searches.
