Firefox Nightly does not provide the Windows 8 Touch option when I open the menu. Do you have another suggestion so it doesn't open in desktop mode?

I followed your advice to have Firefox open in Touch mode with a tile in Metro mode. However, when I click on the three lines (menu) it does not have the option of choosing Windows 8 Touch. I can only open Nightly in desktop mode and I'd rather have it as part of my tiles. Can you suggest another way to convert it to Metro? Lauren

HI Lauren, Unfortunately I do not have a device to test this out on. They did stop development of Firefox for Metro back in March. However other documented ways of launching in metro mode can be seen in the wiki. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration
