My Firefox account settings show wrong MacOs version. Am I OK?
Unsure if it really matters, for now, but my firefox account, when I go to edit bits and pieces, it gets my Firefox version correct, but gets my MacOs version wrong. I'm on 12.76 (Monterey), but Firefox is showing me as 10. Is this normal or anything that might matter?
And a screenshot below just for those, like me who, prefer a book for it's pictures

The Firefox user agent on macOS will show as macOS 10.15 ever since Fx 116.0 as macOS 10.15 is the minimum version to run. It will show as macOS 10.15 even if you have a more later version of macOS. This may change when macOS 10.15 is no longer the minimum version for current Firefox versions.
Mozilla has been making the UA's more generic over the years so Firefox users have less of a fingerprint online. For example Firefox 16.0.2 was when the minor update version was no longer shown in the UA and later the Firefox browser build dates was removed and made as 20100101 in the UA since.
People think that Firefox UA's on Windows 11 shows as if you have Windows 10 was for this reason when in reality the Windows 11 is based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10 is as shown in UA.

but my firefox account
By the way the Firefox Accounts has been called Mozilla Accounts ever since November 1, 2023 to reflect that the account is used for multiple Mozilla services as shown in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/access-mozilla-services-firefox-account#w_what-services-can-i-use-with-a-mozilla-account and not just for Firefox sync.
I like that answer very much! And it's accompanying one, sure, makes sense to me.
