<many others with 1>

new analysis reports in the last quarter.

dbarons - http://people.mozilla.com/crash_analysis/
 correlations to addons, plugins, other modules,  number of cores

jst's new crash signatures, running daily
 correlations to releases.  -- new regressions

the road ahead

more correlation reports
more focus on 3rd parties
 about 25% of all crashes are Flash on windows and Mac
 another 15% of crashes are other 3rd party plugins addons and modules.
 as firefox gets more popular these rise.
 we currently have a list of about 41 vendors that we are working on outreach with.

More people running beta releases!
This has been a huge help in getting good data to analyze
150k running the release candidates already and some bugs are under investigation.

find and fix more crashes!  ;-)

especially explosive crashes like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538998
