Add-ons

Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Overall rate: 3.3 (target: <1.5) - browser: 1.1, content: 2.2
• bug 1209132 (js::jit::IonCompile) is by far the #1 crash, patch on nightly, uplift requested
• bug 1206744 (skia) is #2

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.0 (~10% worse than at the end of 41 beta)
• bug 1158189 (HTTP shutdownhang) is 3% of 41.0b1 data
• bug 1208071 (layers::PImageBridgeChild::Write) is 2.9%
• bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture) is 2.2%
• bug 1182197 (Promise settle) is 1.8%

Release

• Overall rate: 0.9 (after spiking to ~1.0 over the weekend)
• bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture) is 4% of 41.0 data, fixed in 41.0.1
• bug 1207665 (CompositorD3D11::GetTextureFactoryIdentifier) is 0.9%, fixed in 41.0.1

  • dropping GStreamer in a couple of releases
• bug 1189940 (Win10 Nvidia)
• GLEngine@0xab534 did rise on 40 and 41 yesterday, Mac OS X 10.6 only, also GLEngine@0xaaf9d on 40, the latter is connected to bug 753350, which was an old bug with Flash and a GL optimization on our side.

Mobile

• bug 1207642 is still a huge concern in 41 and higher, probably to blame for crash rates on release jumping from ~1.25 to almost 2.0 when 41 was released.
• bug 1209612 crash in mozilla::gl::GLLibraryEGL::InitExtensionsFromDisplay Android API 10
  • https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=FennecAndroid&range_value=7&range_unit=days&date=2015-09-29&signature=mozilla%3A%3Agl%3A%3AGLLibraryEGL%3A%3AInitExtensionsFromDisplay&version=FennecAndroid%3A42.0b1#tab-sigsummary
