The Metro-style on Windows 8 is currently available only on Aurora and Nightly. You can install them from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ and http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/

From the screenshot in comment 2, I can see you have the newest release installed, Firefox 25.0.1, which doesn't support Metro.

I doesn't mean nightly Firefox (metro version), i mean in the normal Firefox in full screen mode F11 and you want to switch to metro apps (another apps) the left windows 8 list of last used metro apps doesn't show up only Firefox hidden bar

Thanks for the clarification!

I can indeed reproduce this issue, with Firefox 25 release, on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
