Stability

Nightly

firefox nightly summary score: 6.33, Thursday 6.51

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545023 was high on Desktop and mobile. The regressing bug has been backed out.
• New Core | AV bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546070 has been resolved fixed
• Small volume A/V crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546324
• Core | IPC crashes in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1544765 have quieted down a bit recently

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 3.09, Thursday 3.19

• Most recent beta12 looks good in terms of new crashes - No new crashes in the top 20
• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487194 is still high, but it appears more debugging info is needed
• Awaiting a patch for top Service workers crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535699
• #13 top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1403546 is still quite noticeable in beta

Release

firefox release summary score: 1.89 , Thursday 1.91

• Still very high volume OOM memory crashes correlated to Ghostery - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519123. Bad on 67 beta as well.
• Volume is still high for this Mac crash on release - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120140. Oddly it is not showing up in beta, but in nightly

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: 16.67, Thursday 16.79

• • #3 overall crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1508740 is quite high on Fennec. Won't fixed for 67
  • Crash when changing languages - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546153

• Beta

fennec beta summary score: 62.37, Thursday 68.95

• • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546397 to account for a signature that is #3 overall, although not new to beta
  • Spike in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1521158 in b11. We will track this issue. Also present in nightly

• Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 61.61, Thursday 60.49

• • Small volume networking crash on Fennec nightly https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1546191. May be fixed by a null check
