This question was still appropriate as it was likely about a Mozilla Account message about using Firefox on Windows 10. We get this question every so often about why is Firefox on Windows 11 showing as if they have Windows 10.

The issue is Windows 11 is basically based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10.0 is so web browser UserAgents including with Firefox will show NT 10.0 in the UA's.
For example Firefox 160.0 on Windows 10 and 11 correcly shows as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:160.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/160.0
Perhaps when Microsoft actually makes a new version of Windows they will base it on a new NT like they did with previous versions of Windows like they did with 7, 8, 8.1 for example as mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Releases
There is no NT 11.0 so I suggest you do not modify your Firefox UA as it will just make it more unique and easier to track in fingerprinting.

Hi, don't take it personally, there is a longstanding practice for Firefox browsers running on Windows 11 to say they are running on Windows 10. Unless sites start caring about differences between the two operating systems when serving web pages, it will probably stay that way for quite a while.
