Firefox For Windows 8 Nixed

From the “you know Windows 8 isn’t resonating” file comes this announcement from Mozilla that Firefox for Windows 8 is never going to see the light of day. The reason, the lack of adoption of the Metro interface. It just wasn’t worth it for Mozilla.

My thoughts? I’m not shocked by this. Microsoft likely needs to figure out how to fix the mess that is Windows 8 first before developers really start developing for it. Or they may just throw in the towel and move on to Windows 9 and let developers work on apps for that. Either way, you might see more announcements like this pop up.
