Thanks for making it clear, and sorry for misreading the email.

So Milan, did you mean there are over half of people using 32bit
Windows not just 32bit Firefox? Is there any data we can see for this?

Looked at Telemetry, and found an item called
DEVTOOLS_OS_IS_64_BITS_PER_USER, which according to the code, actually
checks whether the build is 64bit, not the system. (That checks
eventually goes to nsXULAppInfo::GetIs64Bit(), which returns value
depends on a compile time macro.)
