Release

firefox release summary score: 2.28, Tuesday's score 2.28

• Early data still coming in for 61.0.2 - nothing obvious in there, that should halt further rollout

Mobile

• Crash rate is calculated based on usage hours (the time Firefox is actively used).
• Usage hours will be significantly lower on Fennec than on desktop Firefox, so we can't compare mobile rates to desktop rates.

• Release

fennec release summary score: 28.34, Tuesday's score 28.37

• • New signature added to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1470925. Apparently it belongs in the platform team

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 31.46, Tuesday's score 32.06

• • Beta13 crashes seemed a bit low to me. Top crash has 280 crashes. Is there a way to see how large our population is?

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 51.57, Tuesday's score 53.50

• • Fennec nightly usage seems low. Investigating what might be going on
