Why does support type email from mozilla show this: ... sign-in on: Firefox on Windows 10 When I'm using W11 Home?

I just got this email: Did you sign in to Firefox? Help us keep your account safe by approving your sign-in on: Firefox on Windows 10"

This is after setting FF as default again (3rd time today). Got into this problem trying to report that FF behaves differently when using W11 HOME vs PRO. Don't know when this started. This system has been a "home" system from day 1. When I go check defaults with W11, (only O/S on this laptop) it shows that FF is the default browser for many things.

But if I do an update, or have to do a reboot, first time started, it wants to be made the default *again*.

NOTE: Mozilla sent the above email to me that this is FF on Windows 10. This is W11 HOME, not 10.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A Firefox 152.0.4 UserAgent or UA on Windows 10 and 11 looks like Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:152.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/152.0

Windows 11 is basically based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10 is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Releases

Perhaps when Microsoft actually makes a new version of Windows they will do so on a new NT though rumours say the next Windows version will be more AI focused.
