1305016 - In the Top Crashers list, add the number of installations that are generating crash reports for a given signature

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Webapp, task)

Description

This would be useful to rank the crashes. Sometimes we see crashes that are ranked really high, but then are coming from a small set of installations.

This indicator could be an icon, like we do for startup and browser crashes.

What is a small set of installations?

Would it be more prudent to add distinct installations as an absolute value?

> What is a small set of installations?

I mean, a small number of installations. We've often seen, probably mainly in non-release channels, signatures
with a lot of crashes reported by a very small number of users (i.e. distinct installations).

> Would it be more prudent to add distinct installations as an absolute value?

Yes, probably better. It would also be useful to give the option to sort the signatures by number of distinct
installations, instead of just by number of reports.
