Stability report & metrics

• Yesterday ~ 213K users on 5.0. This is split between 5.0b1 (~111K) and 5.0b2 (~101K).
• Without the ADUs per build id we don't have a crash rate but reviewing the top crash list shows...
  • All the top crashes we were tracking in Aurora have been fixed.
  • The top problems seem to be related to add-on compatibility - Bug 658780

Add on compatibility

• Problems reported with crash stats and feedback.
• Tracking some next actions
  • Need to talk to Fligtar - Rob Sayre
  • Need to talk to Kev - do outreach immediately - Christian will loop back with Kev. Macafee is listed at the top of the crash list, need more outreach - more than just symantec.
  • Create a top list of extensions that we should be looking into - Cheng

Unthrottling?

• We're currently throttled on the beta channel @ 10%. Do we want to remove throttling now that the add-on compatibility bump has happened?
• Should any of the compatibility issues block this?
• We have decided to unthrottle the updates - Christian will add a bug and do it tomorrow.
• Christian will send a "go" email to rel drivers.

Next Beta Build?

• We have a few fixes in mozilla-beta, when are we creating another build?
• If we are going with a weekly schedule, the build will happen Friday.
• Should we do Fennec Beta3 at the same time? No objections here.

Summary of next actions

• Christian - unthrottle updates
• Add on compatibility
  • Cheng - list of top add-ons with compatibility issues from Input
  • Sayre - talk to Fligtar re: add-on compatibility issues
  • Christian - talk to Kev about outreach for top problems ie: Macafee
• Sheila and Cheng - make sure all Input issues are logged in bugzilla.
• Sayre - How to flag bugs if we want NPOTB fixes to land on aurora, beta?
