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.
Nightly
fennec nightly summary score: 55.68, Thursday 69.14
- Nothing specific to highlight for Firefox nightly
Beta
fennec beta summary score: 49.56, Thursday 49.77
- Not much has changed. Some API/Device specific crashes such as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1595821 seem to be rising
Release
fennec release summary score: 17.34, Thursday 17.43
- Although the crash volume on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1587166 decreased, we still
did some outreach to Huwaei. It is possible that some folks stopped using our browser because of this crash
Fenix/Firefox Preview
- Work ongoing on #3 nightly crash mentioned at Thursday's meeting https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/5050
- Version 2.3.0 still seems to have crashes being branded as FennecAndroid instead of Fenix in crash-stats despite https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/4737 being closed
