- Crash in [@ mozilla::ipc::PrincipalInfoToPrincipal] increasing up to a few hundred daily reports again: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1582647
- looks like it's triggered by a third-party website change
- Some ongoing discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1581121 about crashes with third-party distro built versions (30% of linux browser crashes)
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.
