Help us test Firefox Nightly on Windows 8
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:
1. Please download the Nightly version for Windows 8 Metro (follow this link - [1] that will guide you through the installation). IMPORTANT: Make sure that Nightly is set as your default browser or else it won't launch in Metro.
2. Use your new browser regularly! Watch videos, send emails, purchase things online, search for anything you can possibly imagine.
3. Whenever you encounter a bug, file it on bugzilla (link to bugzilla here - [2]). If filing bugs is not your idea of a good time, that’s okay! Your everyday use will help make this version of Firefox better.
If you have any specific questions about testing on Metro please email jbecerra@mozilla.com. You can also check out the Firefox builds forum (link to the forum here - [3]) or The Burning Edge blog (link to the blog here - [4]) for up to the minute updates to Nightly.
Happy testing!
