Stability

Nightly

• bug 1074196 is a new URL classifier crash that spiked on Sunday and is #1 since that day on both Nightly and Aurora.
• OOM|small numbers are down significantly after bug 1072404 landed.

Aurora

• Main issue (#2 topcrash after OOM|small) is still bug 1064107 crash in RtlEnterCriticalSection | LockImpl::Lock()
• bug 1074196 (see Nightly)

Beta

• OMTC on Windows:
  • 33.0b7 with OMTC off comes down to almost the same level we had in late 32 beta in overall crash rate.
  • Bas has a patch that should fix a lot of OOM|small cases that are not really OOM, see bug 1072404
  • For b8, that patch is in as well as turning OMTC back on in bug 1074045, and a number of additional crash fixes.
  • A few signatures (gfxUtils::EncodeSourceSurface, gfxASurface::SetSubpixelAntialiasingEnabled, CDevice::ID3D10Device1_CopySubresourceRegion_) were rising up with b7, but probably just non-OTMC issues that will be solved with enabling it again in b8.

Release

• Good crash rates continue.

Mobile

• Hope to have a fix for the blocker Blur crash in for b8, hope that data confirms that.
• The huge Nightly crash in mozilla::image::RasterImage::DecodeSomeData is fixed, some other crashes coming up at lower volume and being worked on.

User Advocacy

• Desktop Snippet survey out and back, report coming out in a week.
