Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Overall rate: 2.17 (browser), 0.44/0.99 (plugin crash/hang), target: <1.5; 0.07/0.14
• bug 1156800 is top hang, just landed on m-a
• browser crashes look on decent path, plugin still very bad

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.55, target: <1.4
• bug 1127270 (shutdownhang, layers::CompositorParent::ShutDown) is 3.5% in 38.0b8
• bug 1116812 (probably-TDRs) is 3.3%
  • unsure if disabling DXVA would really make a big impact, having data would be good.
• nsDisplayItem::ZIndex() is 2.7% - and it's the AMD crash once again.
• bug 1158189 (shutdownhang, net::nsHttpConnectionMgr::Shutdown) is 1.8%
• bug 1141089 (ContainerState::InvalidateForLayerChange) is 1.6%
• bug 1143806 / bug 1160157 (layers::SyncObjectD3D11::FinalizeFrame) is 0.9%
• bug 1159973 (js::frontend::Parser::unaryExpr) is 0.8%

Top crash score worth highlighting:

• bug 1154703 (startup, layers::CompositorD3D11::Initialize), #2, patch is in b9
• bug 1130061 (webrtc, CreateCapabilityMap), #7 also patch in b9

Release

• Overall rate: 1.28

Mobile

• Issues with 38.0b8 crash data! Even more fallout from building out of m-r, see bug 1159993

QE

• [otilia] after next merge we'll be building 38.0.5 from release - are there chances to hit issues like we did with 38.0 last beta builds? Based on this last experience I believe we won't as there are some lessons learned and Sylvestre did a great job in writing the blog post with the issues encountered, but just wanted to make sure everyone is on the same page with next builds.
  • we will have issues! We usually have beta version of X.YbA schema, here, with X.Y.ZbA
  • Any plans to build from another branch, other than release?
    • esr

• Note that we need to sign off 4 builds next week - 38.0 RC, 31 ESR, 38 ESR, 38.0.5 beta

User Advocacy

• Sent out some qualitative feedback on MSE, hopefully we'll have more once the sample rate is bumped.
• Android "Paper cut" issues: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PDbxX28pf66MeZA_Teg34jrwRaRbPax_EYcf4ohbgQE/edit

Roundtable

• Review state of async init and whether it should move to Beta. (aklotz)

- high volume flash crash. talking with adobe. - if e10s rides to aurora, we want async init to work with it.

Special Topics

Aurora/Beta Feature Review

two more features that may not ride to 39:

• disabling rc4 bug 999544
• async stacks (dev tools) bug 981514
