Ask Jeeves on Tuesday made a Firefox version of its toolbar available for download. Ask Jeeves, which already had the toolbar for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, said the toolbar would allow users of the Mozilla Foundation's Firefox Web browser to perform Ask Jeeves searches through the Firefox interface, let them create different profiles with individual search preferences, and permit local searches through drop-down menus.
Ask Jeeves has been getting closer to Mozilla in recent months. The two recently met to discuss the possibility of collaborating on both a browser and on search technology.
