Stability Report
Socorro
- Due to a file name pattern change by Adobe, the version of current Flash releases isn’t detected by Socorro (bug 742735). This also makes KaiRo’s Flash crash/hang reports not list those 11.2.* versions – a fix is ready for landing and should be deployed in tomorrow’s Socorro release.
