Dumb question here, I saw a notice in my gmail inbox saying that my account was logged into from a new device, showing a Taiwan IP and Chrome browser. I often use a VPN, and I contacted their service and they confirmed that the IP address belongs to them, and I in fact did log into their Taiwan location today, but I don't remember what time it was. Sounds all good, it was probably me that logged in...
But I use firefox, not chrome. Is it possible that gmail mistakenly thought I was using Chrome? How likely is that?
I went ahead and changed my password just to be safe, but how fucked am I?

You can literally see which devices are connect to your gmail account.

That login was 3 hours ago and it says Windows (which is what I use), and Chrome 56.0. The IP address belongs to the same VPN company I use according to their support. But it's not recognizing that login as my device (my computer). I login to my gmail account all the time when connected to my VPN, but this is the first time I received an alert about it.

Well, Firefox is now a chrome-based browser, since it uses the same interface.
Start using PaleMoon OP, and next time you won't be confused. It'll tell you that you signed in using Firefox.

I think I might've figured it out... but someone chime in if I'm wrong.
I updated my NVidia drivers earlier using the GeForce Experience application and it asked me to login to my google account in order to do it. Would google recognize that as an entirely new device and browser though? The driver install time and date is only 7 or 8 minutes after the time google says my account was accessed.
