Stability

• We don't have crash rate data for yesterday (stats are missing some unknown volume of crashes), Socorro team trying to fix right now.

Aurora / Dev Edition

• Overall rate: ~1.8 (browser), plugin crashes/hangs: ~0.36/~0.31 (target: <1.5, 0.07/0.14)
• hangs are going down significantly, plugin crashes are unchanged high.

Beta

• Overall rate: ~1.5 (target: <1.4)
• AMD crasher is 8% of 38.0b9 data, but looks to not be there in early RC data
• bug 1116812 (probably-TDRs) is 2.8% on RC
• bug 1154703 (startup, layers::CompositorD3D11::Initialize) is not fixed, patch didn't help :(
• bug 1154003 (FillRectangle) patch also didn't help, is still 1.8%
• bug 1159973 (js::frontend::Parser::unaryExpr) is now in the top 10, with 1%

Release

• Overall rate: 1.3
• no new issues.

Mobile

• b8 had channel set to "release", the Socorro team did some patches to work around that so we get stats and reports on it.
• beta 10 should be OK

Aurora/Beta Feature Review

• (lmandel) e10s will not ride the 40 train but it will be presented as an opt-in option on Dev Edition 40. Expectation is that it will be enabled by default in Dev Edition 41 and may ride to Beta in 41 or 42.
