:-moz-system-metric(windows-default-theme)

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The :-moz-system-metric(windows-default-theme) CSS pseudo-class matches an element if the user is currently using one of the following themes in Windows: Luna, Royale, Zune, or Aero (i.e., Vista Basic, Vista Standard, or Aero Glass). This will exclude Windows Classic themes as well as third-party themes.

This selector is intended for use mainly by theme developers.

Note: Since Firefox 58, this pseudo-class is no longer available to web content — it is only available internally (e.g. to XUL / chrome code). See bug 1396066 for more details.
