That is okay. All this will do is make US Bank's server think you are
using Firefox 75 with Windows 10. It does NOT require you to use either
Firefox 75 itself or Windows 10 itself.
If that is not working, then there is something else in your setup that
the bank's server does not like. I will give you an example from my own
usage.
I normally Web surf with the following preferences:
"Advertise Firefox compatibility" disabled
Cookies for the requested Web site only
Popups blocked
Images from other domains blocked
HTML5 Media and Flash disabled
An extension that befuddles attempts to track me
AdBlock Plus enabled
And there might be others.
However, four financial institutions with which I have frequent
Web-based transactions really do not like that setup. So I created a
separate profile with some of those preferences changed:
Popups enabled
Images from all domains enabled
HTML5 Media and Flash endabled
The extension that befuddles attempts not installed in the profile
AdBlock Plus enabled but only for certain unrelated sites that set
cookies (Yahoo, Amazon, Youtube, others, none of which I
visit while using my financial institutions profile)
For one institution, all cookies are enabled
