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.

- WebRender: Nividia laptops with small screen - we will send the report only on Monday
- Celebration toast - a decision should be made on bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593258 - QA considers this a blocker.
