Mozilla is making progress in its effort to bring Firefox to Windows 8′s new Metro environment. Firefox for Windows 8 was announced earlier this year and will support both the traditional desktop Windows environment and the new Metro interface designed for tablets and other touchscreen devices.
 
At the moment, Firefox on Metro looks and feels like its Android cousin since both share a common starting point. However, Firefox for Windows 8 already supports a few Metro-specific enhancements, like the Metro "snap" feature, which allows you to "snap" another Metro app to Firefox so you can view both side by side.

Mozilla has opted for the middle path through Microsoft’s guidelines for building Windows 8 apps, passing on a pure Metro app and instead making the browser a "Metro style enabled desktop browser." That means that Firefox for Windows 8 is a hybrid app that can be run as a normal desktop application or as a Metro app.
