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.

  • Fenix Beta migration starting next week, so Beta will eventually stop being tracked similar to Nightly
