Add-ons
Stability
Aurora
- Overall rate: 2.7 - browser: 1.5, content: 1.2 - red, similar to Tue
- bug 1224101 still leads the stats as we only had one day of data with the fix/backout yet.
- bug 1198765 / bug 1210821 continue to occupy the next two positions in the topcrash list.
- Dev Edition 44 crashes: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&version=44.0a2&process_type=browser&process_type=content&_facets=signature#facet-signature
- Only with e10s enabled: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&version=44.0a2&process_type=browser&process_type=content&dom_ipc_enabled=!__null__&_facets=signature#facet-signature
Beta
- Overall rate: 1.1 - yellow, similar to Tue
- bug 1200021 (layers::ContentClientDoubleBuffered::FinalizeFrame) is 2.3% of 43.0b4 data, bug 1216909 has a reproducible case
- bug 1222933 (mostly AdMuncher) is 2.1%, blocklist patch has review, didn't land yet on m-i
- bug 1182197 (Promise Settle) is 2%, uplift should have landed for b5
- bug 1215970 (Skype Click-to-Call) seems to be gone from b4 data, block seems to have helped. YAY
Release
- Overall rate: 0.9 - green, unchanged
- no changes
=Mobile
- all channels remain high, though beta has improved somewhat - Android b4 includes the fixes for bug 1209612 and bug 1221228 that we have produced 42.0.1 for, and crash stats seem to verify that bug 1209612 crashes do not happen any more in b4.

User Advocacy
We accidentally broke a Heartbeat iOS promo last night, so users that were selected for the expirement saw the message on every restart, instead of only once in all time. The code was reverted by Gijs this morning, and we are doing a post-mortem to figure out what happened. We are working on getting an estimated number of users affected and will update rel-drivers soon
Roundtable
- What will the Beta 44.0 schedule be given what we talked about yesterday?
- If we change this significantly we will update the releases calendar
- Given that there are holiday/long weekends in Dec/January 2016, we might need to decide whether we can handle all 10 Betas or not from QE, stability, dev support point of view.
- Win64 for 43.0 :https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225293 (What do people think about risk profile)
- Let's get some testing on Silverlight and win64 builds by SV
- bsmedberg recommends enabling SHA-2 for Nightly: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1226191#c3
Special Topics
Aurora/Beta Feature Review
- Proposal for e10s to be turned on for half of beta population (beta 44?)
