Add-ons
(Not really add-on related, but there there is a bug (https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/3054 ) open to allow us to create gfx blocks on AMO for specific min/max versions.) More detail for the record - we can block gfx or specific OS versions currently, but not for specific Firefox versions - this change will add that.
Stability
Aurora
Beta
Browser crash rate: 1.20 (orange), content: 0.11
48.0b5:
- necko crash with https proxies https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283823 is making up 4.4% of all crashes
- has a patch pending approval for beta/aurora/esr
- for other high impact crashes see tuesday's meeting notes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2016-07-05#Beta
Release
Overall rate: 0.93 (green)
- comodo are saying they are aiming for monday to release an update to fix the guard32/guard64.dll crashes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1274630 (0.9% of crashes on release)
Nightly
- [marcia] Crash rate is artificially high due to a patch in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1262852 which accidentally generated every 5 seconds after the original plugin hang and until the user terminated the plugin process (or it got unstuck on its own). Gabriele landed a fix in for this issue in bug 1284030 so it should be in the next nightly build.
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1229252 - ESET devs say a new fix has been released - it is possible that may fix the crashes. 9.0.383.x or above is the DLL. If that doesn't address the crashes, then we will still have to work to get a user to agree to submit his crash data to them.
