My Windows
While scrolling around I saw something that said Firefox thinks I'm operating under 'Windows 10. NOT TRUE'. I've had Windows 11 for a while now. Does it make any difference? Russ Marshall

Hi
Not really, no. To protect your privacy and make you look less unique to websites trying to track people, Firefox obscures the version of Windows that you are actually using and makes it look like you are using a more common version (in this case Windows 10).
Actually the more simple answer is Windows 11 is basically based on NT 10.0 (same as Windows 10) as to why it says NT 10.0 in the Firefox useragent on Windows 11.
