I'm not sure what you mean. Just checked and my Librewolf on Ubuntu sends Linux as the OS in the user agent, not Windows.

Interesting. I logged into my gmail with the NixOS build of librewolf and got a windows 10 sign in alert.

It seems it might be an error of wrong detection. Websites parse the user agent string and if the agent doesn't match the default is probably windows. Or it's trying to spoof it.

Try this on the browser console:

window.navigator.userAgent

See what it prints

No windows anywhere. It's just the website you're frequenting wrongfully not parsing the string for Linux.

It might be a library they use (unlikely). Or simply bad programming. That's why we need good ones like me :D
