Firefox has released their first preview of Firefox Metro for Windows 8.
Earlier this year, we began development on a version of Firefox that runs on x86 Windows 8. This version of Firefox runs in both the Windows 8 "classic Desktop" environment, and in the new "Metro" environment. We've made a lot of progress since that first development update. We're excited to share it with you and we're looking forward to your feedback.
"The preview includes a new Metro style Firefox Start page, support for Firefox Sync, Metro touch and swipe gestures, integration with Windows 8 "charms", and a simple but powerful Australis interface that is streamlined, modern, and beautiful. Over the coming weeks and months, we'll be adding more features, tightening up Windows integration, improving performance and responsiveness, and finishing up all the necessary work to deliver a first class Firefox experience for Windows 8. "
