Mozilla and Yahoo are suing each over Firefox's default search engine.

The pair originally signed a deal in 2014 that would have made Yahoo the default search engine for Firefox through 2019. But Mozilla has decided to exit the deal and take up with Google.
Oath, the Verizon-owned company that resulted from the merger of Yahoo and AOL in 2017, is accusing Mozilla of improperly walking away from their deal, and formally filed a complaint against Mozilla for "breach of contract" and "breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing."
