Hello,

I guide:

• How do I install Firefox for Windows 8 Touch?

Unhappily, it didn't help - I followed all of the instructions, but the old Firefox comes up with the icon in the top left - no tab/bar as shown in the install instructions.

As I mentioned, the version shows as 28 beta channel, and Firefox is the default browser, and I'm running full Win 8.1 on an Asus Transformer Book (full Win 8.1 - not RT), but there is no Metro version coming up.

Unfortunately I don't have a full MSOffice installed, so I don't have the snip tool to show you exactly how it appears.

I'm puzzled - I have used Firefox for years. Due to all the add-ins I have installed, I would really prefer not to uninstall completely and then re-install the Beta, but maybe that's what I'll have to do if I really want to have a Metro version.

Click the orange "Firefox" button at the top of the window, and choose "Relaunch in Firefox for Windows 8 Touch" from the menu. Here's a picture of the menu item.

If you don't see that item in the menu, make sure that you are not in a Private Browsing window, and try turning off the "Clear history when Firefox exits" setting in the Firefox options. Switching to Windows 8 Touch mode is not yet supported when these privacy features are active, because it requires Firefox to save your browser session before restarting. We're working on fixing this in a future version.

Sorry to bother you - my problem is that I had the menu toolbar showing, so the Firefox showed as an icon, not a box. Once I unchecked the menu bar, the Relaunch option showed and Metro now works.

Now if I still had all my bookmark buttons from the desktop version available for all the sites I usually visit ... :-)

Thanks very much!
