Detect Windows XP in Firefox with JS

Question

I am using the following code to detect if the client has Windows XP:

if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf('Windows NT 5.1') > -1)
        $('#isXP').modal('show');

This works perfectly on Chrome and IE. But not in IE8 and Firefox.

Any idea how can I detect it?

The solution of this example has the same code as mine, and assumes the code works in all browsers. — Hillel Garcia, Sep 13 '16 at 07:17

you can also you navigator.userAgent, like so:

navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows NT 5.1') != -1

This code worked on FireFox, thank you. navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows NT 5.1') != -1 – Hillel Garcia Sep 13 '16 at 08:40
