Mercurial and the wiki both show development has continued on the 'win8 app' style interface for Firefox, but I can't seem to access it through either the current aurora or beta releases.

Is there a way to get a build with 'the interface formerly known as Metro' without having to build from source myself? Or are the features there, and I'm simply derping hardcore?

Any help would be appreciated.

hello Axiomatic, development on the ui formerly known as metro has been ceased by mozilla due to low user interest unfortunately: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/ the code may live on in certain code repositories but there are no current test builds making use of it...
