This is the problem - you define architecture to always be x86, so

perhaps the architecture variable is not correct for e.g. Win7 64.

The line about zomie state is not the problem. You are removing firefox, 
but after removing the Uninstall entry is still present, so wpkg correctly
states that the package is still installed.
