Release
Firefox release summary score: 2.31 (= √3(2.75 windows * 1.23 mac * 3.64 linux))
- windows (content_crashes: 1.53 / main_crashes: 1.6)
- mac (content_crashes: 0.83 / main_crashes: 0.63)
- linux (content_crashes: 2.11 / main_crashes: 1.94)
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 release summary score: 15.34 * android (main_crashes: 11.1)
- fennec to fenix migration ongoing for nightly
- fenix experiment re compiler flags (3.2.0 vs 3.2.1)
- struggling to monitor mobile stability in the past few weeks due to staffing changes, need to find a longer-term owner for this
