Release quality metrics (Tuesdays)

Desktop Stability

Nightly

crash incidence (% of users experiencing a crash): 2.26% (+0.84pp compared to previous week) == back to normal level, crash rate (crashes/active hour for crashing profiles): 1.72 (+0.71)

• increase might be explained by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1857561 - which is fixed now - in combination with data lag (update once per day) and users not updating instantly: in this case numbers should go down from tomorrow

Beta

crash incidence: 0.87% (-0.23pp), crash rate: 0.91 (-0.59)

Release

crash incidence: 0.79% (+0.11pp), crash rate: 1.14 (+0.12)
