Add-ons

   1312779 in RC1 (MPC=True)

   do we need extra testing against Beta for SDK fixes?  or just making sure rides smoothly / monitor for bugs beyond testing already done?  

   where is suggested to monitor for issues?  

   watching firefox::extensions, toolkit::webextensions, toolkit::add-on SDK

   SUMO - shell follow up with Kris

   channels for Add-ons

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1313408 Zeber and metrics folks determined most likely metrics showing SDK changes - validating on nightly (big hunk of data already there) 

   adapt and run against beta end of week (need a few days for data) 

   before is Beta 9&10 (oct 21-26) / after is RC (because has MPC=true patch)

Stability

Aurora

overall rate: 5.64 (browser 1.51, content 4.13) [marcia]

• Top crash continues to be mozilla::plugins::AssertPluginThread, which is a won't fix

• Marco mentioned we have missing crash data for oct 12-21 -> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1279293

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1311697

• • We should follow up on this offline and decide if it is worthwhile to reprocess the crashes. Marco mentioned it is an expensive process.
    • I've talked with Peter, and it looks like we can reprocess them (only ~10% weren't processed, so it shouldn't be too expensive).

Beta

overall rate: 0.98 (browser 0.80, content 0.18)

[marcia]

• Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1314318 <- sec bug

Release

overall rate: 0.99 (browser 0.80, content 0.19)

Nightly

[marcia]

• Some new regressions surfaced due to the landing of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1243846 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1314060. This is causing the crash rate to be higher.
• Caught new regression over the weekend -> Startup crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1313886
  • Needs an owner. Could not easily tell from stacks where the regression happened

Mobile

[marcia

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1313640#c27 has been fixed so we should have some crash data on Nightly Android
