How do I let Firefox know that I am on Windows 11?
I have been on Windows 11 for years. While trying to fix a password issue, I learned that Firefox thinks I am on Windows 10 whose support is going away. How can I tell Firefox that I am on Windows 11?
Related issue: Firefox no longer likes my password. It has 8 characters, but only letters and numbers. Things got messed up while trying to fix it, so I am not sure of my password anymore. Apparently Firefox and Mozilla have separate accounts. I don't know which system's password is broken.
It was suggested that I clear cookies and cache. I cannot find the menu to do that. Trying to fix each problem just creates more problems! I need some support to straighten things out.

A Firefox 157.0.1 UserAgent or UA on Windows 10 and 11 shows as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:157.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/157.0
Windows 11 is basically based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10 is. Blame Microsoft for not basing Windows 11 on a new NT like say NT 11.0 which does exist. Even the Windows builds for Windows 11 is for example 10.0.26300.9550 for the current release.

Thank you, James, for your reply. I now know who to blame, but I still don't know what to do to fix the problem. Are you saying I can ignore it? Firefox is refusing to do things for me (such as update password) because it says I am on the wrong operating system.
