Mozilla gives up on Windows 8 "Metro" version of Firefox.

On Friday, Firefox VP Johnathan Nightingale revealed that he had made the decision to "take the Windows Metro version of Firefox off the trains" – Mozilla-speak meaning he's canceled it. "Mozilla builds software to make the world better, but we have to pick our battles," Nightingale wrote.

Not enough demand apparently.

"On any given day we have, for instance, millions of people testing pre-release versions of Firefox desktop," Nightingale wrote, "but we've never seen more than 1000 active daily users in the Metro environment." Got that? To put that figure into perspective, there are nearly six times as many people living on Easter Island (or Rapa Nui, if you prefer) than were actively testing the Windows 8 version of Firefox.

And technically I didn't even have to put quotes around Metro in the title:

Metro team (I know that’s not what Microsoft calls it anymore, but it remains how we talk about it in Mozilla)
