I still want to use my windows 8 tiles, but when I'm doing a web search I'd like to use firefox. I don't know the actual technological term for going from the Windows 8 tiles to the "old format" windows desktop, but I must have chosen the wrong settings for what I wanted. I hope this makes sense.

Primarily I don't like the navigation toolbar and the task bar to show when I'm on Facebook, for example. This is why I want to use the Windows 8 tiles for some things and firefox for others.

Is there a place I can adjust the setting?

Thanks!

I think you're talking about Firefox for Metro?

Either way, that version of Firefox was pulled because of low user interest.
