Stability

Nightly

firefox nightly summary score: 16.98, Thursday 5.22

the issue was backed out of nightly for failing tests

Beta

firefox beta summary score: 2.90, Thursday 9.02

Release

firefox release summary score: 2.68, Thursday 5.79

Mobile

  • Crash rate is calculated based on usage hours (the time Firefox is actively used).
  • Usage hours will be significantly lower on Fennec than on desktop Firefox, so we can't compare mobile rates to desktop rates.
  • Release

fennec release summary score: 29.22, Thursday 25.09

due to the tremendous crash volume we had in 63.0.1.

  • Beta

fennec beta summary score: 44.84, Thursday 221.17

triage today we discussed we are unsure what caused this issue and there are theories about a corrupt build

  • Nightly

fennec nightly summary score: 34.30, Thursday 31.58

    • Nothing of note to call out for nightly

Roundtable

  • win64-aarch64 nightlies
    • mark them as "experimental"? Pascal suggested doing a Nightly blog
    • note something on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Supported_build_configurations about this platform?
    • probably OK as long as expectations are managed (not linked from regular nightly download page, noted as experimental)
      • ASAN reporter builds have similar messaging around them
    • Overholt discussing with Chuck about what comms we might need on this
    • Pascal offered to coordinate Twitter activity
    • Currently no hardware and not enough people to test this in QA. We expect to receive hardware in January/February, but in order to test Nightiles we will have to move QA engineers from other tasks, so we would need to decide what else to drop to accommodate arm64 testing. Our automation tools don't work on ARM64 at the moment, so all testing has to be manual.
