We hope you weren't eagerly anticipating a finished release of Firefox for Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/06/firefox-beta-brings-touch-friendly-web-browsing-to-windows-8/) -- despite releasing a beta of the browser just last month, Mozilla has cancelled the project (http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/06/firefox-beta-brings-touch-friendly-web-browsing-to-windows-8/). There just aren't enough testers using the new interface to justify shipping a completed version, the developer says. It's concerned that the missing feedback could lead to a buggy release that requires too much repair work. Pre-release code will still be available, and Mozilla isn't ruling out a change of heart in the future. For now, though, Windows 8 users will have to switch to a rival like Chrome (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/14/chrome-32-stable/) if they want a touch-friendly alternative to Internet Explorer.
