[marcia]

• Rate looks good at the moment
• Crash volume is light so far for https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrashers/?product=Firefox&version=57.0b99&days=7

• For 58 beta, relatively quiet https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrashers/?product=Firefox&version=58.0b&days=7&process_type=any

[marcia]

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1405290 continues to be the top volume crash on 56.0.2. Chris Peterson dropped a note in the bug asking if there is anything else we can do.
  • Of the signatures in the bug
    • shutdownhang | __psynch_cvwait | <name omitted> | mozilla::dom::workers::RuntimeService::Cleanup only affects Mac, and is confined to 57 and 58
    • shutdownhang | mozilla::dom::workers::RuntimeService::Cleanup affects 58/57/56.0.2 and is very high volume (Windows only)
    • shutdownhang | ZwWaitForAlertByThreadId | mozilla::dom::workers::RuntimeService::Cleanup affects 57/56 and is low volume
    • shutdownhang | NtWaitForAlertByThreadId | mozilla::dom::workers::RuntimeService::Cleanup seemed to have affected earlier builds (58/57/56) and is not showing crashes in recent builds (Windows only)

Mobile

awsy rate: nightly 3.00 - beta 0.74 - release 0.55

• Nightly
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413500 continues to show up in crash stats - apparently the fix in Bug 1413230 did not work? ni on snorp to weigh in since high volume with 4066 crashes.

• Beta
  • 57.0b15 looks good so far.

• Release
  • http://bit.ly/2zpXtZR - crash that sits at #22 but there isn't any stack information
