 Components.interfaces can be used to fingerprint browser user agent down
 to OS and minor version. This might not be a lot of data for
 fingerprinting (depending on how well we keep users upgraded), but it
 certainly is a concern for targeting exploit payloads against a particular
 OS and version combo.

 /fingerprint-firefox.html

 Here's the Firefox bug for this:
