Why is it that when I asked a question previously Firefox incorrectly identified my System Details?
Firefox seems to believe I have Windows Vista and Firefox 3.4. This is incorrect and may effect anyone who attempts to answer my question.
Here's what it showed in the popup box for system details:
Additional System Details
* Windows Vista * Firefox 3.5.7
This happened
Not sure how often This started when...
I asked a question in the forum. Installed Plug-ins
* Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator * Winamp Application Detector * The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in Web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site. * Default Plug-in * Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 * DivX Web Player version 2.0.3.4 * 4.0.50524.0 * Media Go plug-in for Mozilla browsers

I can only find one other question by you - /questions/753289
That one shows Windows Vista and Firefox 3.5.7, the same as this question.
If you do not have 3.5.7 you will need to reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). For details on how to do that see How to reset the default user agent on Firefox
This forum's software reads the UserAgent of the browser that is used to post here and extrapolates the Operating System and Firefox version number from the UA string. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
There was no Firefox 3.4 version, releases went from 3.0.x to 3.5.x as the major version number.
