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.

fennec nightly summary score: 71.63, last Thursday 34.28

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1492704 caused a very large spike on nightly - that accounts for the large increase in the MC rate

  • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1495526 to account for a rising signature, but Andrew believes it is a signature change
