We are developing apps using Microsoft technologies. One of our app is required plugins support. In Win8 Metro mode won't support any plug ins. So, we want to detect it and ask the user to open it in Desktop mode. This detection is done through Javascript. We can able to detect for IE. How can we detect this for Nightly? Could you please provide a solution for this.

Thanks In Advance.

Fixed. It was due to the plugin, but the js, tiny_mce.js

spellcheck = 1 -> Works

Fields "wysiwyg" are based on js library "tiny_mce.js" tyny_mce.js compares if (! A.gecko_spellcheck) {z.getBody (). spellcheck = 0} ... Changing in comparing the number 0 with number 1 is solved if (! A.gecko_spellcheck) {z.getBody (). spellcheck = 1} ... You can download the library in, http://www.tinymce.com/, and view all code.

Hi, I'm one of the developers on the Firefox for Metro project. We don't yet have a recommended way for web pages to detect whether Firefox is running in Metro mode, but we'll be working on that here:
