Mozilla has announced that it has put the development of its Firefox browser made for the Modern UI of Windows 8 on hold and it sounds like it will be in that position indefinitely



From Neowin:

After two years of development, Mozilla has just announced that it has decided to stop development of the version of its Firefox web browser made for the Modern UI of Windows 8.

In a blog post, Johnathan Nightingale, the vice-president of Mozilla's Firefox team, said the decision to put the Windows 8 version on hold was made earlier this week. He stated, "The team is solid and did good work, but shipping a 1.0 version, given the broader context we see for the Metro platform, would be a mistake."
