Release quality metrics (Tuesdays)

• Crash rate for 105.0b7 appears a bit elevated in MC2, primarily on Linux/macOS - likely an artifact of low usage hours
  • No obvious signatures spiking in Socorro and Windows crash rate is stable compared to b6 (where adoption is higher)
• Working to get the one remaining S1 bug affecting 105 uplifted to beta (bug 1785185)
• Pushing to address bug 1779202 this cycle still, even if it means backing out the regressing change
