Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:2 boklm]:
 > So we need to find what is the value of
 `Services.sysinfo.getProperty("version")` on Windows 7.

 The short answer is "6.1".

 The longer answer is that `PR_GetSystemInfo()` is used by
 `Services.sysinfo` to obtain OS version information. On Windows, the
 implementation is in `_MD_WindowsGetSysInfo()` which  constructs a string
 as `dwMajorVersion`.`dwMinorVersion` from a `OSVERSIONINFO` struct that is
 filled in via a call to the Windows API function `GetVersionEx()`. I used
 the Firedox browser console in to obtain the `6.1` answer, and it matches
 the data in the table that is included in the following page:
