Stability Report

• ADUs still pretty low on the trunk - 40K but should see that increase Mon/Tues.
• Since the ADUs are pretty low, we don't have many standout crashes.
• Top browser crash list for yesterday - https://crash-analysis.mozilla.com/chofmann/20110530/top-7.0a1.html
• Bug 648022 - Was fixed on 5.0 and backout was put on 6.0a2. Until we figure out the real fix, we will continue to see this signature on the trunk.
