Is this the data for people who are running only the latest release or some
arbitrary Firefox releases where FHR/data collection is enabled? I ask
because this data doesn't include any 10.4 and 10.5 usage so it's not an
overall population snapshot. Sampling the crash data (very noisy I know)
puts 10.5 at ~3% of our OSX users and 10.4 at ~1% of our OSX users. Of
course those users are stranded on some outdated and insecure Firefox build
so wouldn't be impacted by this discussion,

My point is that we need more context to these numbers if we're going to
make a decision based on them.
