470k crashes in a week? Considering how low their market share is, that would suggest every install crashes several times a day... I gotta call bs.

For my part I'm not sure I recall a crash having daily driven firefox in quite some time. I'd suspect that the large number of bit errors might be driven by a small number of poor hardware clients.

Based on what data? According to their reporting they have around 200 Million monthly users, which seems compatible with 470k crashes a week? See <https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity>

Wouldn't it be more likely the faulty machines are crashing pretty often.

470k crashes / week

67k crashes / day

claim: "Given # of installs is X; every install must be crashing several times a day"

We'll translate that to: "every install crashes 5 times a day"

67k crashes day / 5 crashes / install

12k installs

Your claim is there's 12k firefox users? Lol
