Firefox 28 released: Windows 8 Metro version removed at the last moment because it only had 1,000 users

2014-03-18 13:11:58| Extremetech

Firefox 28 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android has been released. On the desktop side of the equation, Firefox 28 adds support for the VP9 video codec... and that's about it. Why I hear you ask? Well, Firefox 28 was meant to include the long-awaited Windows 8 Metro version of the browser -- but at the last minute, citing almost zero demand for Windows 8's Metro interface and 'flat' growth, Mozilla's vice president for Firefox decided to terminate the project and pull the code out of version 28.
