Stability Report

Socorro

• bug 799487 No Mac crash stats are showing for Firefox 16 except two test crashes
  • We will monitor this and it is more common to have some crashes for Mac even before we officially ship

Desktop

Nightly

• bug 798876 crash in mozilla::plugins::PStreamNotifyParent::SendRedirectNotify
• bug 798778 crash in mozilla::safebrowsing::Classifier::MarkSpoiled
• bug 798761 crash in mozilla::`anonymous namespace::ContainerState::InvalidateForLayerChange
• bug 798760 crash in PresShell::DidPaint @ nsRootPresContext::UpdatePluginGeometry

Aurora

• bug 798446 startup crash in nsGlobalWindow::nsGlobalWindow

Mobile

Nightly :

• 9 out of top 10 are startup crashes
  • mostly due to bug 790139 has better symbols; freetype font issue.
• Nightly spiked on the 7th.
  • bug 798858 - android.view.ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views. at android.view.ViewRootImpl.checkThread(ViewRootImpl.java) at org.mozilla.gecko.AboutHomeSection.show
    • Pike states showing the same crash even though he's on a newer revision than the backout.
    • not sure if the crash fix is in or not. We have to see if this is fixed or not.

Aurora:

• Aurora crash rate seem to have gone down a little
• lots of libxul crashes. Not sure what to do with them as of yet.

Beta:

• Crashes are almost as good as Release crashes. Because the ADU are lower comparatively to Release, Naoki believe that the crash rate may be lower in the release channel once beta is pushed to release.

Release :

• bug 756140 something we've talked about.

QA:

• a lot more libxul crashes are shown at the bottom of nightly and other channels which is disconcerting.
• bug 752828 looking at the patch from bug 741224, it might be helpful to get the API levels for the crashers?
  • Need STR from QA.
• bug 750217 is not fully fixed.

Monitoring Bugs going from Aurora to Beta:

• bug 777460, bug 791441 - we need STRs, bug 784360, bug 781259, bug 785022

Other bugs being monitored:

• bug 745512 #6 on release, not shown in beta and above.

See Mobile Notes for Mobile specific Socorro notes

• 15.0.1 Release top crashes
• 16.0b4 Beta top crashes
• Aurora top crashes
• Nightly top crashes

B2G

• B2G crashes
  • We still need to get symbols for these crashes to make them useful (which requires builds coming from releng infrastructure).
  • we also need content crashes as well as ui for crashes.
• Discussions on UX flow nearing final decision, will need implementation soon.
  • This should be decided tomorrow?
• Work is ongoing on getting content crashes to work and getting annotations up - see dependencies of bug b2g-crash-reporting.
