Here’s the First Look at Firefox for Windows 8

Just a few weeks ahead of Microsoft's release of Windows 8, Mozilla has pushed the first preview version of Firefox Metro out of the nest.

Though its designed specifically for Metro, it also works on the classic Windows desktop environment. You can download it here, and it will be updated nightly. It's the same Firefox you know, with some added Windows 8/Metro-specific features. 

Here are a few to keep an eye out for:

  • Touch and swipe gesture support
  • Syncs with Firefox on the desktop
  • Supports Windows 8 charms
  • Data sharing between other Metro apps
  • Tab bar with tab previews
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • View pages in desktop mode

man Firefox was acting crazy with me last week so I'm a little indifferent with them right now.

It's cool to see that their Firefox is looking as good as ever but I'm currently a Google Chrome man and that won't be changing for a while, they are a great browser though.
