- Not reporting Mission Control v2 rate for Beta and release due to low adoption
Nightly
Today Crash Rate overall 1.88 Crash Incidence overall 5.11%, Mission Control v1 rate 6.18 Tuesday Crash Rate overall 1.82 Crash Incidence overall 5.25%, Mission Control v1 rate 14.75
- Nightly has one zero install/621 crash spike which is at the top of crash stats
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1577507 is #4 overall, but relatively low volume and macOS only
- #5 is Web Replay which is nightly only https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1499496

- Known Linux issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1594686 is dominating the top of 71 crash stats
- Nothing yet bubbling up that needs to be called out
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.
Nightly

- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1532456 is the top crash in Fennec nightly, but relatively low volume

Release
fennec release summary score: 17.08, Tuesday 17.13

- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579628 is #3 overall, no answer to ni
Fenix/Firefox Preview
- There were some questions in one of the channel yesterday about querying for Fenix crashes
- Easiest way to do it in Socorro is by Build ID
- https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?build_id=20191014032640&date=%3E%3D2019-11-27T23%3A19%3A00.000Z&date=%3C2019-12-04T23%3A19%3A00.000Z&_facets=signature&_sort=-date&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-signature is a query for the current release version, 2.3.0
