Stability

• Because we just released 68, rates will look higher than normal, especially for nightly and release

Nightly

firefox nightly summary score: 34.18, Thursday 6.22

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1556846 is still an issue, and we continue to have a high volume

of single installation crashes on macOS. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1558817 is tracking the missing symbols, which we will likely need to scrape from a 10.15 machine

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.51, Thursday 2.63

   * Large spike in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563542, 69.0b2

• #2 Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1562616
• #3 Top crash https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1561976, is disabled according to tracking flags

Release

firefox release summary score: 5.12, Thursday 2.06 [68.0] tbd

• Async Shutdown hang signature from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1513855 seems to be quite high so far.

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: 21.90, Thursday 10.32

• • Too early for much 68 data yet
  • Filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1564444 for a #8 overall startup crash, not new to 68

• Beta (now 68.1b1 in crash stats)

fennec beta summary score: 58.51, Thursday 59.92

• Nightly (now 68.1a1 in crash stats)

fennec nightly summary score: 87.43, Thursday 88.94

• • Nothing to report today

• Fenix/Firefox Preview
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1557449 continues to be the top crash by far in the first release. Hopefully will be addressed

in the followup release (1.0.1?) as it appears to have gone away on nightly

QA

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1562164 issue still persists
• Fx67 Release Post Mortem QA Action item (https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/67-0-Post-Mortem line#72) - Testing partner build updates should be done earlier in beta - \o/
  • Scheduled to do this early and mid Beta cycle, starting Fx69
  • Partner builds are made b8 onwards, as mentioned by tom.prince. QA to note the timeline.
