I have a 64-bit Windows 8.1 computer of which doesn't support Touch features. Is there a Metro version of Firefox that works on 64-bit Windows 8.1 computers that don't support touch? If so, how can I get it?

hello Joshua_Lewis, you can also use the metro version with mouse and keyboard (however i don't know what would be the advantage of this over the firefox desktop version).

Okay, thanks. Tbh the only advantage I thought of was the ability for it to open in a Windows 8 mode. Basically like how IE 10 does when opened from the start menu.
