Mozilla launches a preview of what will be Firefox for Windows 8 Metro

Mozilla has just released what is considered the first preview of Firefox Modern Metro UI interface for the new Microsoft Windows 8. Admittedly, "Metro" (the old name of interface) sounds much better than "Modern UI" (the new one), so no surprise that Mozilla did not want to rename the browser.
Metro Firefox can be installed on computers using the latest Windows 8 development packages that are available here . After installation, you will need Firefox to become the default browser, because if not, to simply throw open the desktop version. Apparently (note, not a confirmation) all browsers Windows 8 would work in this way, which is not at all nice because if we want to try another browser to change it to default every time you need to use it.
As you have seen in the picture, this version of Firefox will be a little familiar to those who have used the new version is available for Android and iOS. The tabs are located at the top of the browser and the buttons were minimized, giving it a more minimalist yet more striking and elegant.
As you have seen, too, the home screen you see on the image is quite colorful, with pictures to color markers (take the small icon color), while the most recently visited page can be seen on the right.
At first glance, the browser is not bad and we hope to improve further when the full version is released.
