Whenever I tap the metro app of Nightly, it always opens the desktop mode instead of the metro version. Nightly is set as default browser so it should open the metro version of this.

The way to switch to Metro mode changed recently. In the latest version of Nightly, you can press the menu button (three horizontal lines at the right end of the toolbar), then press "Windows 8 Touch" to switch from desktop to Metro mode.

After you do this, Nightly will continue to open in Metro mode automatically unless you switch back by choosing "Relaunch in the desktop" from the toolbar menu.

For more details, see How do I launch Firefox for Windows 8 Touch?
