Mobile Stability

Fennec

• 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.
• MC1: Nightly - N/A, Beta - 40.90, Release - 15.40
  • Nightly N/A likely due to Fenix migration
