Hey, it is just what I am planning to do on my own game. Supposed to be kind advice. Surely they don't want to split their user-base?

Is there anyone left on 32 bit at this point in time on their daily driver? Windows, Linux, OSX, they've all been 64 bit for many iterations now.

About 24% of Firefox users still run a 32-bit OS, though gamers probably have newer hardware and software than the average Firefox user. See "Browsers by Architecture" in the Firefox Hardware Report for a graph over time:

The Steam hardware survey suggests fewer than 2% of users are on non-64-bit OSes. There are more Mac users (~3%) than 32 bit users.

As depressing as it is to say this: Firefox's marketshare is so low that we really need the Chrome numbers here. 24% of a <10% market share means "quite likely around 2.4% globally". That's basically a number that says "safe to entirely ignore in terms of userbase support" =/

This is only true if you think that the Firefox demographic is skewed towards 32 bit computers.

other way around: it assumes most non-firefox users are on 64 bit, which is a pretty reasonable assumption given Apple's hard push for 64 bit (so that's the OSX-ers covered) and Chrome's "we've made finding the 32 bit installer _really hard_ because we don't want you to use it" move. I'm sure there are some 32 bit users in both segments, but far less than you'll find in firefox land.

I do have a 32-bit device (Asus T100 netbook/transformer) that I use regularly enough for it to be a 'daily driver', especially when I travel.

But I'd be OK with this limitation :)
