  • Have completed outreach to Intel and working on getting permission to share a crash dump

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: 28.35, Tuesday's score 28.40

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760394 continues to generate a lot of crashes. On Release, 2 of the signatures in that bug account for 84K crashes.

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 32.06, Tuesday's score 32.30

• • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480432 - this affects API 19 only and was present in 61 as well.

fennec nightly summary score: 58.33, Tuesday's score 60.23

• • Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1477041 appears to be fixed, although there are isolated crashes in builds with the patches
    • mc daily fennec nightly rate dropping by half after the landing
  • Added a comment to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476424 - there are isolated crashes happening after the landing. Because there were so many individual signatures, we didn't add every single one to the bug when it was filed.
  • #3 Top crash was moved back to a P1 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476751
