    • Mac crash with out of process plugins and get "no report available" - Bug 687899
    • Bug 684748 - crash when Comcast Constant Guard installed. Very high volume last week 80K per week. We are telling users to uninstall and that works. White Sky says a fix is coming soon - need outreach help.
  • Trunk
    • Crash rate pretty good.
    • Build on the 17th that introduced a bunch of new crashes. We backed out some stuff and it seems to have resolved the issues. We have some residual crashes still in old builds.
    • Type inference crashes - Still 8 open bugs - nice to get many of these fixed even if low volume.
  • Aurora & Beta
    • FF7b6 - volume still low - 12K users so not much data yet.
    • Bug 687001 - @ JSLinearString::mark - only with Aurora and FF7. There is a windows version of this crash Bug 686441. Seems to be related to Better Facebook extension.
