Stop stealing focus from the URL box while loading!
It is a really annoying way to try to force people to use your search engine. Wastes my time and just plain annoying. DO you really think the best way to get people to use your product is to annoy them if they don't?

Please stop stealing focus by redirecting the cursor to yahoo search. This is extremely annoying. I have used yahoo as my home page for years, and too like it. I will change my home page is this persists. When I posted the question of how to stop this to Yahoo help chat, they did not reply? I use Safari browser.

You've left me no choice other than to change my home page. I cannot handle the focus being switched while I'm in the middle of typing a URL or search term. It would be nice if someone from Yahoo would let us users know something, like whether this issue is being addressed of likely to be STOPPED in the near future. Goobye Yahoo home page, we had a good run :(

I've been having the same trouble. Yahoo doesn't care so I guess I'll have to do what others are doing, change my home page.

I agree. I've used my yahoo as my home page for many years, and like it, but I will have to change to something else if this annoying, stupid behavior is not removed! If I wanted to search with yahoo most of the time I would have set it as the browser address bar search engine.
As it is now, the cursor normally jumps down into the Yahoo box right in the middle of a search request, resulting in a failed search, wasting my time and making me angry. PLEASE STOP IT!
You're better than this......
