• Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519123 since it didn't have a bug. Not much to go on
• Not much else to report for release. The rate looks good and we are still getting data from 64.0.2 - https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrashers/?product=Firefox&version=64.0.2&process_type=any
  • nothing concerning in the 64.0.2 data yet that should hold up 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.
