• Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1522524 to account for a possible telemetry crash in 64.0.2

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.

    • RyanVM to email release-drivers today with an update that this is putting the Fennec release at risk
