mc2 crash rate: 1.31, crash incidence: 1.05%, mc1 summary score: 2.66 last week's mc2 crash rate: 1.96, crash incidence: 1.17%, mc1 summary score: 3.04

- non-default config & fixed in 74
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.
