Hi there! Thanks for your interest in testing an upcoming version of Firefox (Nightly) on  Windows 8 Metro. We’ve been working incredibly hard to bring the Firefox experience to the Windows 8 Metro environment. With that said, keep in mind that you’ll be one of the first people using this version, so expect issues. Without you, we won't be able to make Firefox the best browser in the world. In order to make things run as smoothly as possible, please follow these steps:
