888397 - Metro Firefox does not work if screen is minimized

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tracking Graveyard :: Metro Operations, defect)

Description

[Samvedana (:Samvedana)]

User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20130628 Firefox/25.0

Build ID: 20130628031149

I opened Metro Firefox nightly on Windows 8 Which is VM on my machine.
If I reduce screen size, Metro Firefox will disappear and I can see background color of Apps screen.

If I close Metro Firefox and reduce screen size and then try to open metro Firefox, I see message " This app cannot open. The screen resolution is too low for this app to run."

Expected result:
Metro Firefox should work with small screen size for laptops.

Do any other Windows Store apps act like this at this resolution? How about IE10?

Yes, Windows other store apps like camera and video act same as above. I am trying IE.

IE is also not working in metro mode if window size is reduced.

Not a Firefox Bug.
