Use the Non-Touch Version of Aurora
In Windows 8 (and 8.1), the touch version of Aurora completely dominates the Start Menu, making it very difficult to use the non-touch version.
I also try pinning a shortcut to the non-touch version, but in Windows 8, every time there is an update, it overwrites my shortcut with the new touch-enabled icon. In Windows 8.1, I simply cannot pin a shortcut to the non-touch version. Additionally, pasting a shortcut into the Start Menu folder doesn't work either. Previously, in Windows 8, I could paste the shortcut, and it would appear "as is," but that no longer works in Windows 8.1. This is getting extremely annoying.
I have tried to submit feedback about the before, but in the past few weeks, the issue has remained unresolved.

Just go to the Desktop and open Firefox, you'll get the non-touch interface.
I don't use desktop icons. It should also have a Start Menu icon, even if there are two different ones, like IE or SkyDrive.
Firefox in the start menu is a totally different program than Firefox on the Desktop. Use the desktop icon if you want non-touch Firefox. The two don't even share profiles.
I can see that they are entirely different, but I am looking for a workaround, since, as I said, I don't use desktop icons (nor do I want to). Other applications have two different Start Menu icons, so if there is a workaround where I can create a new icon that opens the desktop version, then I would appreciate that.
