Almost 2 years ago, before that Microsoft to launch Windows 8, those from Mozilla they announced that they had already started work on a Firefox version with the metro interface, created especially for se assort cu Modern interface of the new Windows Opere System (and obviously, so that it can be used by users Windows RT, which does not allow the installation of Desktop applications, as an alternative to the modern version of the Internet Explorer browser).

In the meantime, Microsoft has also launched update-ul Windows 8.1, again Firefox for Windows 8 (or Firefox for Metro) only managed to reach a (somewhat unstable) version in beta stage, and that was only last month.

But today Mozilla announced that (at least for the time being) se will abandon the continuation of the Firefox for Windows 8 project, and the main reason given for this decision is the fact that there were very few testers for Beta version a metro browser (compared to the much larger number of beta build testers for desktop), and the company considers that lack of feedback it could lead to the creation of a browser version with numerous gaps and errors that would lead to a lack of quality and a poor experience for users. However, the code for Beta version of the browser Firefox Metro remains valid and an eventuality is not excluded the resumption of the project in the future.
