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
