Stability

• There are a few anomalies with Mission Control today due to moving to 65 and releasing, so I am not adding any of the rates.
  • Nightly Fennec has a score of 0
  • https://data-missioncontrol.dev.mozaws.net/#/?channel=release still shows Linux at 62, while all other platforms are 63

Nightly

• Nightly is now 65
• Networking regression https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1501283 was quickly identified and is being patched
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499995 is the overall top crash
• Some new bugs filed in the 10-20 nightly: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NightlyCrashTriage/2018Q4#2018-10-22_-_gsvelto

Beta

• • Currently not much activity in b3 so far: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrashers/?product=Firefox&version=64.0b3&process_type=any

64.0b2:
   * large crash spike in js signatures in the content process: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1500463 - 85% of content crashes
   ** many comments reference viewing pdfs; on nightly the spike was only present in one build, so hoping the issue will go away on its own

Release

• 63 was just pushed out today, need to wait a bit until we start getting in more crash data
• amd cpu crash: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1501343
• 2way external interference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1501362

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
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497526 is leading crash in early 63.0 data, and was detected in the 2 RCs. Investigation underway

• Beta
  • Not much to note for Beta yet

• Nightly
  • Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499618 looks to have a possible fix
