Just a few weeks ahead of Microsoft’s release of Windows 8, Mozilla has pushed the first preview version of Firefox Metro out of the nest.

Though its designed specifically for Metro, it also works on the classic Windows desktop environment. You can download it here, and it will be updated nightly. It’s the same Firefox you know, with some added Windows 8/Metro-specific features. Here are a few to keep an eye out for:
Touch and swipe gesture support
Syncs with Firefox on the desktop
Supports Windows 8 charms
Data sharing between other Metro apps
Tab bar with tab previews
Keyboard shortcuts
View pages in desktop mode
You can read the full list of features here. Since this is just a preview version, some of them might not show up in the full release, which we’ll see at the end of October. [Mozilla via TechCrunch]
