Add-ons

Stability

Aurora

• Overall rate: 2.2 - browser: 1.5, content: 0.7 - red
• bug 1245743 continues to be a top-2 crash even though I have mentioned this quite often this cycle

Beta

• Overall rate: 1.1 - yellow
  • Numbers for b10 and RC continue to be very similar to 44 endgame, possibly slightly higher.
• OOMs have significantly increased from mid-January to late February, see bug 1253091
  • looks like OOMs are going down on both beta and release this week though, maybe some website change.
• OOM|large signatures are a concern, e.g. bug 1132499 and bug 1253059 - some really huge allocations in the former of those.
• networking-related shutdownhangs are ~5.1% of RC data

Release

• Overall rate: 1.02 - yellow
• still mostly shutdownhangs to blame for not being green
• plugin crashes of bug 1252152 still ongoing though nobody could reproduce yet, may be related to specific ads

Mobile

• still looking decent.
