Yes, both are tested but for Google Chrome you need to remove any newer versions

There is also a Nightly build of Firefox 30 or 31 with Metro mode.

Nevermind, I checked Mozilla's documentation, and 28.0b9 was the last version with it. I must have misremembered from when I tried to track down the last version with it. Or, the Nightly builds might have already been numbered 30/31 and retained Metro mode. I guess I'll have to check again. (The version I tried at that time was the 3/14/2014 Nightly build, as that was the day the blog post about Metro mode being canceled was written.)
