• Usage hours will be significantly lower on Fennec than on desktop Firefox, so we can't compare mobile rates to desktop rates.

• Release

• • Nothing much new in the top 20. Two crashes that don't have bugs associated with them seem to be all devices running 26 (REL)

• • Beta crash volume still seems low.

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 47.85, Tuesday's score 48.26
