- merge was tentatively moved from May 6 to May 8, TBC
- For both related and unrelated reasons, nightly updates were turned off for pretty much the whole weekend. That means 68 is not in the happy state it should be in its last week on nightly.

[66.0.4]
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1525078 continues to be visible in both release and beta, but comments mention there is not much we can do about it
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.
