Stability

• Beta versions are not showing up correctly in Socorro: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503250

Nightly

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503201 did cause a large spike in nightly crashes. It was backed out
• Mission Control detected a Mac and Linux spike around 10-22. Unsure of possible causes because the population is so low
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1470280
• Networking regression https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503502 is now resolved fixed

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.82, Tuesday 2.92

• Note that crashes are showing up in crash-stats as 64.0b5rc1: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?product=Firefox&version=64.0b5rc1&date=%3E%3D2018-10-25T09%3A46%3A52.000Z&date=%3C2018-11-01T09%3A46%3A52.000Z&_sort=-date&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-signature
• new crash in b5 due to an uplift: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503725 - 0.6% of browser crashes

Release

firefox release summary score: 3.13, Tuesday 3.48

• first data from 63.0.1 indicates that tab crashes from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1447146 might get more common in the dot release (7% of content crashes)
• for general 63 situation also refer to tuesday's notes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2018-10-30#Release

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: 32.45, Tuesday 32.37

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503255 continues as the top crash
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484524 is rising a bit on release. The patch had to be backed out and the developer is working on another fix

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 34.44, Tuesday 35.74

• • Nothing specific to call out in b5. Just like in Firefox the build in crash-stats is showing as 64.0b5rc1

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 44.96, Tuesday 34.67

• • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1503201 also affected Fennec and could account for the increased MC score
