No. Those were 32bit. 64bit looks like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1.10)
Gecko/20100512 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.5

or for a fully updated version this:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.2.4)
Gecko/20100608 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100628
Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.6

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)
Gecko/20100703 Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.6

No. TB goes to whatever brower that I set in
'System|Preferences|Preferred Applications'. In this case I have it set
for SeaMonkey as that is what I use for browsing & mail. When I set to
FF, the links go to FF instead.

Note that I am using the Mozilla version of TB in these cases. However,
using an Ubuntu version on the test machine yields the same results.
