Release

firefox release summary score: 2.37, Tuesday 2.68

• Overall rate looks good and nothing new in the top 10 other than the bug noted on Line 54
• #3 overall crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1514028.
  • Will has filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515487 to add the signature in the skip list. In the meantime, we might be missing symbols as well
• Top Mac release crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1510058 has been fixed in 65
• #10 top crash which has been around since 57 seems stalled https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1419108
• Filed a bug for #19 overall, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515659. I believe we still have issues getting symbols from Adobe
  • Reference bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1513497. I think it has been over 3 months since any symbols were uploaded :(

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: 29.79, Tuesday 29.22

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471692 which was previously low volume seems to have increased. Perhaps a different

issue than the one originally filed

fennec beta summary score: 40.36, Tuesday 44.84

  • #6 top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1513912 has a need info, seems stalled

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 57.32, Tuesday 34.30

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515086 is the likely cause for the spike in Fennec.
