Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Overall rate: 1.0 - browser 1.1, content 0.9 - yellow
• Still need some more bugs filed for topcrashes - https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&version=46.0a2&process_type=browser&process_type=content&_facets=signature#facet-signature

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.4 - browser 1.2, content 0.2 - red
• bug 1231024 (js::jit::BacktrackingAllocator::splitAt) is 6% of non-e10s 45.0b2 crashes, and #1 Top Crash Score, fix should be in for b3
• bug 1232229 (FinalizeTypedArenas) is 3.6%, more instrumentation on Nightly to find out about this
• bug 1245674 (mozilla::dom::Promise::AppendCallbacks, places shutdown) is 1.8%

• plugin crash spike seems to be pretty much one Flash signature, related to Async Drawing, Adobe is investigating, see bug 1245200

• bug 1210099 (e10s, Skype+Avast) is not large in stats any more now that we disabled e10s for Skype CtP users

Release

• Overall rate: 0.95 - green
• relase is back to the borderline green/yellow line, difference to when it was firmly green is mostly a rise in shutdownhangs over the last 6 weeks
  • this situation could be potentially helped by bug 913822, which just landed for 45.0b3

• bug 916762 and bug 1222933 still #1 and #2 Top Crash Score, bug 1222171 uplift should fix the former in a dot-release
