[marcia]

• Don't see much to report on Fennec Nightly. Top crash is fixed - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351169#c28, but the developer notes that there are other signatures in that bug that need separate bugs
• Fennec Aurora - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1354911 is the top crash

Roundtable
