Stability

Nightly

• bug 1082670 - Flash crashes in crash reporter code since we switched to VC2013, fix being worked on.

Aurora

• Updates were only activated on Sunday, so not many people on Aurora 35 yet.
• bug 1071079 _moz_cairo_surface_destroy is #2 after OOM|small

Beta

• bug 1081171: #2 and #3 topcrashers, almost 10% of our crashes. Same as what we have seen in 33.0 RC build #1. Need to figure out what the actual issue is here.
  • On hold until 33 stability issues are resolved
• bug 1084513 #4 topcrash in nsINode::NodePrincipal() Newly spotted startup crash, patch on m-c, needs uplifts.
• bug 1081769 #5 topcrash in js::gc::IsAboutToBeFinalized<js::types::TypeObject>. Not assigned to anyone yet

Release

• see above

Mobile

• Release looks good
• Beta crash rates are up again, Kevin looking into it.
• Aurora (ashughes)
  • overall stability is on par with 34, if not slightly higher -- still waiting for more ADIs
  • bug 1085461 is #2 and rising - I've added a link to potential bugs causing this (cross referenced Nightly landings & Aurora uplifts) - QE is investigating to see if we can reproduce

Other

• bug 1067146 - youtube bustage due to cache v2?
  • Note: we (UA) saw youtube issues spike around 33 release but assumed they were related to the new version of Flash that came out that day. -- Not totally sure it's related though since this is really specific
