I thought this would be easy but I can't figure this out.
How to tell if using Win7 or WinXP? Like details on operating system. Linux should give specifics. Mac OS version etc.
I thought to read user agent from Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow and window.navigator but on browser startup hiddenDOMWindow isn't loaded yet.
Right now I can only get WINNT from:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/osfile.jsm")
console.log(OS.Constants.Sys.Name)
or
console.log(Services.appinfo.OS)
console.log of window.navigator gives all this good stuff, how to get this without having access to window?

You can use the system info service. To get the OS version
Services.sysinfo.getProperty("version");
Consult the sources for the properties supported. Also pay attention to their platform-specific meaning (e.g. on Android there is version and kernel_version)
