Firefox 64-bit for Windows was never released to the general public, but managed a significant number of testers for its “Nightly Builds” and “Hourly Builds”. However, the project was officially canceled by Benjamin Smedberg, the Mozilla engineering manager.

Last week Smedberg

introduced the idea of killing the 64-bit version for Windows in mozilla.dev.planning. His arguments were lack of compatibility with plugins, malfunction thereof and the low priority aimed at error reports submitted by users.

discussion about it lasted several days and finally yesterday, Wednesday, Smedberg down the lever to the development of Firefox for Windows 64-bit. This is the translation of the last message posted on the forum:

Thanks to all who participated in this topic. Given the existing information decided disable “Nightly” and “Hourly” 64-bit builds for Windows. Consider this discussion closed unless there is critical new information that needs to be presented.

According

could collect data The Next Web , at least 50 percent of the testers of “Nightly Builds” Firefox was testing the 64-bit operating system from Microsoft. That edition was not yet ready for release to the general public, but many users were annoyed by the decision.

Do you think

Mozilla made the right decision?

Development Firefox Metro is running in a while, but only now you can prove it in Windows 8 RTM. The Mozilla Foundation invites users of such software to download the “nightly build”, in order to get more feedback for the launch end. The browser still has bugs and missing features, but it looks very attractive.

According to the developers, Firefox Metro works in both classical and desktop interface formerly known as Metro. The only requirement is to have x86, because applications are blocked in Windows classic RT (for devices with ARM hardware). The browser automatically updates to keep users with the latest development version.

Official information says Metro Firefox includes:

New homepage;

Interface

Australis;

Support Firefox Sync and touch gestures;

Overall integration with Windows 8.

Over the weeks developers add more features and improve software performance . For now the Mozilla Foundation will not release the final filing date, so it is impossible to know if it will be available with the launch of the new operating system from Microsoft.

If you have access to the RTM version of Windows 8, can download the nightly build of Firefox Metro from here.
