Stability

Nightly

firefox nightly summary score: 8.20, Tuesday: 8.76

• Still recovering from the crash spike from the bugs called out Tuesday
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493403 - over 11K crashes
  • Almost 10K from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493177
• #3 top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487227 still has work ongoing
• #8 top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1493616 was marked a P3

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.65, Tuesday: 2.78

• situation mostly unchanged
• fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1443748 going into b9 doesn't seem to have reduced the crash rate
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1491340 continues into b9
• Fairly concerned about https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1488164. The rate is high in beta and affects popular sites, so would expect to see if a spike if this carries into release.

Release

firefox release summary score: 2.40, Tuesday: 2.42

• Nothing specific to call out for Release

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.

• Release

fennec release summary score: 19.67, Tuesday: 19.69

• • Nothing specific to call out for Fennec release

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 33.61, Tuesday: 33.92

• • Nothing specific to call out

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 34.28, Tuesday: 34.17

• No nightly generated yesterday due to TaskCluster issues
• Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1492706 seems to be a single install generating the crashes
