[marcia]

• In Early crash stats data, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1388370 seems to be an issue (over 50% of browser crashes in 55 so far!) emailed them, no response yet

[philipp]

• startup crash with webroot also seems to be fairly frequent: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1361410 only affecting 32 bit builds?

Mobile

awsy rate: release 0.58, beta 1.05, nightly 7.88

[marcia]

• Android nightlies have been very crashy due to two bugs - both have been addressed:
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1387702
  • Massively crashy https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1387053

Roundtable

• (dan, ritu) Question about % of 57 nightly users who have stylo enabled: currently 50%, considering rolling out to more asap.
• (liz) Wow, a lot of uplift requests from early merge day to monday build time (~ 50) They did not all make it into beta 1. Moving the early merge day to Thursday may save a small bit of that PITA.
