Schedule Update

Current releases dashboard: https://mozilla.github.io/delivery-dashboard

• Fx62 RC1 shipped to Beta and Play Store (5% rollout)
• Fx62 RC2 gtb today for Desktop & Fennec

• ESR 60.2 gtb today (blocked on bug 1481121)
  • [avaida] QA sign off will likely be pushed back to next week for this, as we don't have the bandwidth to sign off all three builds in a single day.
    • [RyanVM] This is acceptable. DevEdition and RC2 are the priorities. For ESR I'm mostly concerned about the updates from ESR 52.

• DevEdition 63.0b2 gtb a few minutes ago

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.31, Tuesday's score 2.34

• As we head toward release, 62.0b99 crashes appear to be in good shape with nothing new popping up.
  • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487194 to account for two shutdown issues that are still happening

Release

firefox release summary score: 2.18, Tuesday's score 2.19

• Several of the top shutdown hangs that are at the top of release, when reprocessed, were filed as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487194

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: 27.36, Tuesday's score 27.39

• • #3 top crash was fixed and uplifted to 62 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1475218

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 30.02, Tuesday's score 30.08

• • Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485441 has a diagnostic patch which landed on nightly

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 45.54, Tuesday's score 45.88

• • Until we reprocess some of of the signatures, we won't have clarity on some things in nightly. Nothing looks worrisome at the moment.

• [marcia] Can someone explain the recent nightly build issues we have been having? Today I don't see a Windows build
