I do have that problem too.
Device is the new Dell Venue Pro 8, Windows 8.1, Baytrail.
I've done every step more than one time, also with serval reboots. Icon is also showing the correct symbol. But i can click what I want. It opens the desktop version only.
Sorry, the steps for starting the Windows 8 Touch ("Metro" style) browser have changed, and the instructions were out of date. In the newest version of Nightly, you will need to open the menu and click on "Relaunch in Windows 8 Touch" to switch to Metro mode.
I just updated this page with the new instructions: How do I launch Firefox for Windows 8 Touch?
Sorry. I cannot find that button. Also not when I'm in customize.
In the customize view, try clicking on the "Restore Defaults" button. (This may be necessary because of a bug that occurs after upgrading from an older version of Nightly before we added the Windows 8 Touch button.)
That I've already tried without success. Don't know, how old you mean with "old". I've got that device on friday. So I did install the nightly on friday or saturday.
This sounds like a new bug in Nightly. I filed a bug report so we can try to find and fix the problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=950986
If you are willing to create an account on Bugzilla and comment in the bug with any additional details, that would be great. Thanks for reporting it, and I hope we find a fix soon...
You can also try an Aurora test build to see whether it has the same problem.

With the regular nightly 29a it is working on my desktop pc.
On my DVP8 I got it to work with the aurora branch. But with this branch I am at 28a (after it updated from 27a). The 29a from nightly branch didn't work in ModernUI on that tablet.
