Concept / Design What version of windows is this judging by the buttons?
Is this a custom windows xp theme? If it's windows 7, what version of firefox is used to make the buttons look like that? This was in windows classic UI before and now its this. The cursor uses the old windows xp one.

totally xp with a crappy skin. You can tell by the scroll bar and the fact that this is Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, the last version of Firefox to ever support win xp (yes I'm an xp user how could you tell??)

You actually cant tell what version of Windows it is from the buttons. The buttons come from the version of the .NET API. I believe these style came out with .NET 3 or 3.5. Not 100% sure. Any version of Windows that supports that version of the API, can have an application that uses those buttons.

No, these buttons are custom. The silver theme has half matte metallic buttons with 4 rounded corners.

Well its Windows 7 (without AERO enabled...) or Windows XP with internal "aero" in the app built in..

It looks like Windows XP with a custom theme, or maybe Linux with an old "Windows-like" GTK theme.

It's likely Windows XP with a skin, or Longhorn. That is an old version of Firefox ESR.

This looks like older version of Firefox in full-screen mode. I remember it had those aero buttons even on Windows 10

XP with a custom visual style. This reminds me of the good ol' DeviantArt days...

Windows 7 with the DWM Service terminated, the bare bones one that would show up when I'd kill the DWM w the Task Manager
