Stability

Nightly

firefox nightly summary score: 7.25, Tueday: 7.41

• #2 top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1495285 has a patch
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1496581 also has a patch, waiting for review

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.30, Tuesday: 2.30 [63.0b13]

• same picture as on tuesday: browser crash rate is low and dominated by known hangs/timeouts on shutdown
• content crashes:
  • increased OOM rate/signature: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1472062 - 8% of tab crashes
  • QuickHeal: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1489041 - 3.3% of tab crashes (4 crashes per affected installation)
  • mozilla::ipc::IPDLParamTraits<T>::Write: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484524 - 2.3% of tab crshes (has a patch and an uplift request for mitigation of crashes, should be in beta 14)

Release

firefox release summary score: 2.28, Tuesday: 2.30

• 62.0.3 rate looks good, nothing specific on the radar

Mobile

• Crash rate is calculated based on usage hours (the time Firefox is actively used).
• Usage hours will be significantly lower on Fennec than on desktop Firefox, so we can't compare mobile rates to desktop rates.

• Release

fennec release summary score: 19.68, Tuesday: 19.65

• • jchen is investigating the spike in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497134
  • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1498239. Might be a bug we cannot do anything about

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 33.20, Tuesday: 33.28

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497526 also at the top of b13 crash stats

fennec nightly summary score: 72.05, Tuesday: 66.90

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497883 spiked very quickly yesterday - the patch was backed out. Thanks to calixte for bringing it to our attention
  • Binder proxy crashes are still hanging around at #3 overall - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1497526. 2 previous attempts to fix it didn't work
  • Keeping on eye on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1490039 due to 2 small spikes on 10-7 and 10-8
