Stability
Nightly
Today Crash Rate overall 2.13 Crash Incidence overall 5.62%, Mission Control v1 rate 6.30 Crash Rate overall 1.81 Crash Incidence overall 5.59%, Mission Control v1 rate 5.79
- Both versions of Mission control seem to have detected a spike, although MCv2 seems to only show macOS. Evolution doesn't yet show 11/20 build
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597965 spiked in the 11/20 build - fixed now but accumulated around 4K crashes/582 installs
- As an interesting sidenote it appears there are still some crashes with zero installs following the fix, but volume is less
- Recent regression in storage starting in 11/18 build https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597915
- Core XPCOM https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597794 has a patch. Small spike detected in nightly
- Small volume NSS regression https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597799
- Will ping to see if it a regression from a NSS update
Beta
Today Crash Rate overall 1.88 Crash Incidence overall 1.18%, Mission Control v1 rate 2.99 Crash Rate overall 1.55 Crash Incidence overall 1.21%, Mission Control v1 rate 3.05
- Necko crash in arena_t::DallocSmall | arena_dalloc | AddrHostRecord::~AddrHostRecord: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1544190 - 0.4% of browser crashes
- RKV-related crashes fixed in b11: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1538541 & https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593734
Release
Today Crash Rate overall 1.39 Crash Incidence overall 1.04%, Mission Control v1 rate 2.19 Crash Rate overall 1.40 Crash Incidence overall 1.05%, Mission Control v1 rate 2.21
- Filed a new JS bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1598331. #26 overall but likely not much we can do about it
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: 55.19, Tuesday 55.68
- Nothing new to report for nightly
Beta
fennec beta summary score: 49.43, Tuesday 49.56

Release
fennec release summary score: 17.32, Tuesday 17.34
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1369505 shows as rising in Socorro, but likely not much can be done with this signature
