Mozilla was one of the first browser vendors to announce support for Windows 8<\/a> in March of last year. At that time, the company said it would be take advantage of the Metro UI to create a touch-enabled version of the popular Web browser that conformed to Microsoft’s Metro design principles. It’s been almost a year since then, and Metro Firefox is finally out in Firefox Nightly. <\/p>\n

Mozilla announced via Twitter<\/a> today that a Windows 8 Metro UI version of Firefox is now available in the Nightly distribution. <\/a>Firefox Nightly is the highly experimental version of Firefox so expect a few bugs. <\/p>\n

If you don’t want to take on Firefox Nightly, you can check out some screenshots of Mozilla’s preliminary work in Metro-fying Firefox<\/a> here: <\/p>\n

\"Touch<\/p>\n

The design being used here is the similar to the UI currently used by Firefox for Android.<\/a> There are a few Metro-ifications on display here, however, that I hope make their way into Firefox for Android at some point. Most noticeably, the bookmarks display in the Windows 8 version of Firefox is far superior to the simplistic drop down list on Android. Good thing somebody at Mozilla is already working on something like that. <\/a><\/p>\n
