How do I get Mozilla Accounts to recognize that I am now using Windows 11, not Windows 10?

A Firefox 158.0 UserAgent or UA on Windows 10 and 11 shows as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:158.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/158.0
Windows 11 is basically based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10 is. Blame Microsoft for not basing Windows 11 on a new NT (like previous Windows) like say NT 11.0 which does not exist. Even the Windows builds for Windows 11 is for example versioned as 10.0.28000.3231 for the current release as note it starts at 10 and not 11.

From Jame's reply it looks like what Mozilla reports as my operating system is outside of their control, so will have to live with it.

What Mozilla Firefox or Firefox for short reports in the Firefox UserAgent on Windows 11 is accurate though.
Every web browser on Windows 11 shows as if you are on Windows 10 in the UserAgent due to both Windows 10 and 11 being based on NT 10.0 as you can see in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Releases
Though there are some that wrongly believe the web browser UA's are frozen at NT 10.0 to make the UA more generic to minimize website and fingerprinting tracking issues. Like I said there is no NT 11.0 is the real reason why.
