Hahhahahhaa...

Mozilla gives up on Metro mode Firefox.

Just days before it was due to be included in Firefox's stable version, Mozilla has announced that its Metro-mode shell for Firefox has been cancelled.

Vice President of Firefox Jonathan Nightingale attributed the decision to a lack of user interest in a touch friendly version of the browser for Windows 8's Metro environment. Although millions of people use prerelease versions of the desktop browser, he wrote that fewer than 1,000 used the Metro shell each day.

It's like Microsoft is nailing it up from the inside and everyone else is nailing it up from the outside. HAHAHA!
