Schedule Update

44 beta 8 pushed to beta channel

• hotfix (cumulative) deploying on 43 (safebrowsing, undoing youtube UA change, GMP/mp4fragment) probably tomorrow.
  • undoing YouTube UA override is causing other YouTube regressions in 43: bug 1238816

Add-ons

Stability

• Crash rates are good from Jan 4 onwards, we are working on 2 and 3, Jan 1 is probably not recoverable easily enough.

Aurora

• Overall rate: 2.0 - browser: 1.0, content: 1.0 - red
  • The picture is very similar to last week, we need some bugs for ipc::FatalError crashes in the top slots: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&version=45.0a2&process_type=browser&process_type=content&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-signature

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.2 - yellow
  • mainly bug 1238257 (gfxASurface::CairoStatus), 20% of 44.0b7 data, fix should be in b8 (It's in b8 - bug 1233182 has the fix)
  • bug 1218473 (Optimus crashes) is at least 5%, probably more 7%, fix on dev edition now, hopefully coming to b9
    • waiting for it to stabilize on Aurora, Nightly before uplifting to b9

Release

• Overall rate: 1.0 - green (gdata crash successfully resolved!)
• former "skype click to call" crash still puzzling (and major) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215970

• YouTube issues:
  • Media team will expand automated smoke tests for YouTube and Facebook video: bugs 1238857 and 1238773
  • undoing YouTube UA override is causing other YouTube regressions in 43: bug 1238816
    • cpearce has a fix and Sylvestre will fold the fix into a different hotfix that is scheduled for tomorrow.

Mobile

• Android beta crash rates are dropping heavily, not sure if we are fully out of the woods though
  • No, while 3.5 is considerably lower than the 5.5 it is higher than our previous trend of 2.5
  • https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/crashes-per-user/?p=FennecAndroid&v=43.0b10&v=44.0b4&v=44.0b6&v=44.0b7&hang_type=any&os=Windows&os=Mac+OS+X&os=Linux&date_start=2015-12-14&date_end=2016-01-12&submit=Generate
