Are those Ubuntu numbers for installations in general, or Firefox 
specifically? I couldn't find out how to get architecture specific 
information from popcon, and I'm worried that the overall results 
include server installations (which would really skew them):

If that was referring to Firefox, it's probably representative. It 
appears popularity contest is installed on every Ubuntu instance:

Even without specific numbers, the fact that Ubuntu continues to see a 
32-bit desktop version of their desktop operating system as worth 
shipping and supportive is probably indicative in itself.
