CrashKill/2013-02-04

General

• KaiRo did a talk on "Improving Stability of Mozilla Product" at FOSDEM on Saturday, slides are at http://kairo.mozdev.org/slides/fosdem2013/
• Ongoing problems with harddisks in a Socorro DB server cause KaiRo's custom reports to not be available. Filed bug 837738 on it.

Socorro

• Trying to upgrade disk space for the main DB ran into problems with faulty harddisks.
• Another problem with collectors was seen last week, numbers for Jan 31 remain low due to that (backfilling data probably wasn't done because of the DB problems).

Flash

Desktop

• EMPTY dump signature is really high across the board recently.

Release

• bug 806820 (SuppressDeletedPropertyHelper and friends) remains at >20% in 18.0.1
• bug 783369 (Norton Confidential) still has the signature from the 2012 version at ~4% of all 18.0.1 crashes.
• bug 836263 (AppendUTF8toUTF16, OOM) is rising, probably add-on-caused.

Beta

• bug 806820 (SuppressDeletedPropertyHelper and friends) is FIXED in b4! No regressions to be seen! \o/
• bug 836263 (AppendUTF8toUTF16, OOM) is quite high in b4, there seem to be some leads to add-ons via correlations.
• No other concerns, b4 crash rates seem significantly lower than b3 was with the same amount of installations.

Aurora

• bug 828034 and bug 829909 (Plugin hang UI crashes) are fixed in recent builds, need some time to drop off topcrash lists.
• bug 821733 (js::CompartmentChecker::fail) is dropping significantly after recent fixes landed.

Trunk

• bug 836811 (nsMixedContentBlocker::ShouldLoad) is new and #1 atm, but a fix landed and seems to have worked.
• bug 827946 (skia::BGRAConvolve2D) continues to be ridiculously high for a Linux-only crash, it's PGO-only.

Mobile

Release

• bug 752828 (startup, database locked) remains #2 on 18.0 release.
• bug 812881 (libsomxcore.so, Galaxy S III) continues to be #3 on release.
