User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0
Steps to reproduce:
Sign-in to my Firefox account on MacOS 12
Actual results:
The email sent to notify me of the sign-in says it was done on "Firefox on Mac OS X 10.15". I suspect this is due to the frozen OS version in the User-Agent string, as per Bug 1679929. However, this is misleading to the user as I did not sign-in to Firefox on Mac OS X 10.15, I signed-in to Firefox on MacOS 12.
Expected results:
The frozen OS version used in the User-Agent string should not be cited in the notification email. Either a generic operating system should be cited (e.g. "Firefox on MacOS") or the actual operating system version should be obtained through something more reliable than the User-Agent string.
