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.

Special Topics

Post-Mortem (Tues 2wks from GA Release)

• read-only: version increase from 70 to 71 in mozilla-central repository: due to the North American holidays, Aryx had to ask around who could add the new version to Bugzilla (should be done close to the moment when the version gets increased in the code) - needed to correctly reflect what has landed and in which version. Eventually, :glob paged :dkl who added them on the holiday.
• Shall Mondays which are holidays both in Canada and the US (or just in the US) be avoided as merge days in the future? We could likely just move these events to Tuesday/Wed. when it's US + Canada
• ask for RelMan access to update Bugzilla configuration https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1578481
