anuseems Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) A former Mozilla engineer who worked on the "Metro" version of Firefox says that poor adoption of Windows 8's radical user interface wasn't behind the decision to shelve the browser.From Computerworld:"Is Windows 8.1 'Modern' UI in trouble? No," said Brian Bondy, who led the Metro-ized Firefox development, in a post on his personal blog.Bondy's "Modern" is another label for what Microsoft originally called "Metro," the colorful, tile-based, flat-style UI that's one of two in Windows 8 and its follow-on, Windows 8.1. The other is a more traditional desktop UI, relatively familiar to the hundreds of millions who rely on Windows 7, Vista or XP.http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9247120/Ex_Mozilla_engineer_blames_Microsoft_s_rules_for_Metro_Firefox_s_death Edited March 22, 2014 by anuseems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
