Stability

Aurora

Overall rate: 1.7 (no changes as no updates turned on yet

• Waiting for data to come in over the weekend.

Beta

Overall rate: 1.0 (trending slightly up)

• bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture), almost 4% overall, see release section
• bug 1208071 (layers::PImageBridgeChild::Write) is 2.2%
• bug 1208059 (plugins::PluginAsyncSurrogate::Cast) is 2%

Release

Overall rate: 0.9 (trending up, but only slightly and 41 does not have many users yet)

• bug 1207665 (startup, CompositorD3D11::GetTextureFactoryIdentifier), #1 Top Crash Score, 1.7% of overall 41.0 crashes
• bug 1178601 (gl::GLBlitHelper::BlitImageToTexture), 5% - this has been rising yesterday in all of 40, 41, and 42, so probably a website change, almost all of those crashes are on Facebook
• bug 1204669 (nsXBLService::GetBinding) is 0.8% but we thought we had fixed this :(
• bug 1208008 (with "Mozilla Archive Format" add-on), #4 Top Crash Score, 0.8%

Mobile

• bug 1207642 (random hex addresses) causes crash rates to explode on release 41.
• bug 1178601 - in the top 5

Roundtable

• Currently, we don't enable updates for Aurora until Friday after the release. Do we get enough data from people downloading aurora, to be useful? I'm looking at https://arewestableyet.com/ Wednesday, and it lists 464 people total on 43.0a2. That isn't a lot. We're losing a week where we could be catching problems in early aurora on a broader population. I think we should try letting updates be enabled from release day onward and plan to throttle if there is a problem. (lizzard)
  • This period is used for QE to validate aurora and find critical issues (syl)
