Add-ons

Stability

Aurora / Dev Edition

  • Overall rate: 2.5 (target: <1.5) - browser: 1.4, content: 1.1 - red, up from last week, huge spike over weekend
  • content has been going down, probably because the Telemetry Experiment disables e10s for a number of people.
  • bug 1218395 (nvd3d9wrap.dll) is really high
  • bug 1218128 / bug 1218473 is present here as well, see discussion in beta section
  • there's a js::jit::CodeGenerator::generateBody signature that is #1 now and still needs a bug filed
  • bug 1218266 is crashes that are caused by the Telemetry Experiment running for e10s.

Beta

  • Overall rate: 1.5 - red, up from last week, huge spike over the weekend
  • top issue by far is startup crash bug 1218128 / bug 1218473, caused/triggered by bug 1213567, we did a backout for RC to hopefully fix this.
    • this would normally revert to having the crashes reported in bug 1213567 but we hope disabling async plugin init (bug 1216665) will mitigate this in RC.
    • Discussion on how to use the release channel to test feature
      • In some cases, we don't get enough information with the beta channel (ex: OMTC, async plugin init, various graphic driver issues), future: e10s
      • how to improve the quality
      • Only happened when 42 reached beta (e10s was on on nightly/aurora)
      • Diversify the beta population to match the release

Release

  • Overall rate: 0.9 - green
  • looks like the workaround for Win10 crash bug 1189940 worked on beta 42 \o/

Mobile

  • beta crash rate is up and firmly red at 4.0, double of the target.
  • bug 1207642 fixed at least some part of random hex crashes, unclear how much it influences the overall rates.
  • bug 1215950 is the clear #1 signature, probably to blame for beta crash rate increase, fix in b10
  • bug 1201081 is #2 and also has a fix in b10

Roundtable

  • e10s
    • what we should do?
    • what kind of data we should gather?
    • how we can deploy to a % of users?
  • Shipping on purpose dot release
    • 1 week after, 3 weeks after?
    • how to do this and not burn us all out? (relman, releng, sheriffs, qa)
    • Update the mechanism
    • make it so the UI tours don't come up again for "minor" or planned dot releases

Special Topics

Discussion of platform quality.


Aurora/Beta Feature Review

Main concern with 43 right now is SHA-1 deprecation issues. We need more work for win xp, 7, vista users to be able to update from 43 onwards. Over 6 M users could be stuck.

e10s opt-in for 43.0 Beta: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218475
