Add-ons
Stability
Aurora / Dev Edition
- Overall rate: 9.4 (target: <1.5)
- Plugin crashes and hangs are also up significantly, .5 and 1.5 instead of .1 and .2
- bug 1149358 (async plugin init) - 60% of crashes, top 3 signatures.
- Should consider preffing off this feature if the fix for this bug doesn't bring the crash rate down
- More plugin-related crashes following, possibly related to the above
- bug 1151506 (startup, random-hex DLL malware) - 5% of all crashes
Beta
- Overall rate: 2.0 (target: <1.4, <1.2 without shutdownhangs)
- Plugin crashes and hangs are somewhat up (to pre-MSE levels) because YouTube switched us back to Flash by default.
- 38 will likely be back to MSE on Windows and OSX by tomorrow
- bug 1124249 signatures (Intel Gfx driver crashes) are back and ~13%, should be fixed in b2 by bug 1149954
- bug 1144649 (large OOMs with JS signatures) are ~7% and a bit of a mystery, maybe potentially related to the above as they are mostly on Intel graphics as well
- bug 1138520 (shutdownhang in dom::ContentParent::Observe) is back with 2.2%
- Security bug 1128064 (plugin-related) is 1.4%
- Will need to see where b2 comes in with that top-level GFX crash solved, but we need to work on everything we can (see below).
Release
- Overall rate: 1.4 (36 was at ~1.2, 35 was at 0.8-0.85)
- Not really any things in the stats that we didn't see in beta
- We really need to get our crash issues fixed in the beta cycle (and ideally before).
Mobile
- 37.0.1 seems to be about as stable as 37.0 seems like we just pushed the EverySecondTelemetryCallback_s signature around

Action items
Mobile
RelEng
User Advocacy
- Users seem to be having issues with the AOL toolbar. Old versions caused an issue that basically locks Firefox up. Seems to be resolved in newer versions.
- Websites that users used to be able to access in 36 but can't in 37 due to old TLS usage are also driving a bit of feedback.
- Tyler is poc for this week for UA
Roundtable
- (lmandel) YouTube has reverted to Flash for 37 Windows users do to playback issues.
