If you don't care about touch, then frankly you won't care about this announcement. I think this is the perspective of most posters here. But as someone that wanted a better touch-optimised full-fat browser, I am very disappointed. Metro is all about touch, and the problem with Firefox in that context is that its touch performance sucks-- zoom is irresponsive and stepped, and scrolling performance is sub-par too; IE on the other hand excels at both of these-- which is why I use IE-metro in touch scenarios despite having a strong preference for Firefox normally. If Mozilla fixed these core issues (which I should note are 'solved' on their android browser, and I believe are important anyway for their desktop mode), then I think they would have had a lot more interest in using Firefox in metro mode.. which is essentially what I have always wanted when using tablet-style, but have been waiting it out until they had something usable. I think their 'marketing' has been really poor too.. I can't say I really had any idea there was a metro mode to the existing Firefox.. why didn't they try giving some kind of notification to windows8 users who had touch screens? And, personally (perhaps naively?), I just don't see that Mozilla don't have enough resources to handle this alongside existing projects, dumping it seems very short-sighted to me. Regardless, a big set back for those looking for a great full-fat browser experience with a touch-focused UI.
