Add-ons

Stability

Nightly

• Crash rates are the worst we've seen so far (outside of spikes): http://arewestableyet.com/graph/?fxnightly

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Numbers rapidly coming to normal level after D2D 1.1 was disabled.
• bug 1078674 (crash with randomly named library) has mostly disappeared but uplift of the potential fix would still be good so it hopefully won't spike again.

Beta

• Overall numbers still look good.
• bug 1053999 (JS_TransplantObject) is not new or rising, but #3 with 2% of all crashes and has an uplift request for a patch that has baked on trunk. I think this should probably uplift... it is a startup crash about half the time. usually on ask.com - liz
• new crash showing up in mid-late beta, mozilla::gfx::CreatePartialBitmapForSurface bug 892910

Release

• bug 1093683 (Yosemite crash when saving files) is rising across channels.

Mobile

• Aurora crash rates are coming down after the bug 1086693 uplifted that should have fixed bug 1091599.

Aurora / Dev Edition

Beta

• Do we need to take bug 1053999 - crash in JS_TransplantObject(JSContext*, JS::Handle<JSObject*>, JS::Handle<JSObject*>)
• This came in and may fix some of the black screen issues: bug 1089364
• mp4 playback fix is being withdrawn till 35. so we should make sure to change the release note.

Action items

Mobile
