Looks like there was a driver update last month for your video card. Might be worth installing it and trying again? http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/48847
Installing the driver and still don't work.

LotusGG, would you mind looking here - 

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\MetroFirefox\Profiles\(profilestr).default\minidumps

and tell me if there are a couple files there? If so, would you mind zipping them up and emailing them to my mozilla email account? (jmathies@mozilla.com)
No files in that folder....
but there is one here
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\MetroFirefox\Crash Reports
the file name is InstallTime20121003040204 and has 1kb and the only info in there is a few numbers...
the numbers are:
1349391186
Is this the same issue as bug 795594?

No, the current metro builds aren't pgo'd either.
Well, was not clear to me that the failure occurred using a current build.

Can you go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application and check there for recent errors. Please post what the error messages say related firefox.

look the same error btw...
This is what solved this issue for me. I had Mozilla Firefox installed along with the Nightly Build. 

1) Open Uninstall Programs
2) Uninstall Mozilla Firefox
3) Start Nightly from Start Screen
3) A Window opens up and asks if you want to set it as default browser
4) Choose Yes
5) Close Nightly
6) Start Nightly again from Start Screen
7) The Metro App opens up this time instead of Window.
i got no mozilla firefox installation on my pc.
also my issue is not with clicking metro and then it opens in desktop, the issue is that it just crash to start screen after launching it.
This sounds like a dupe of bug 797013.
If you can reproduce this after Bug 797013 lands, please re-open or post a new bug. Thanks!
