This is how dev humblebrag sounds like.
Our app is so stable only random hardware events like bitflips can crash it.

LOL, nah, Firefox isn’t that stable. If 10% of crashes were caused by bad RAM, it means 90% were still caused by something else.
(My install regularly gets a memory leak that eventually makes my system unusable, BTW. I don’t think it’s necessarily the fault of Firefox itself – more likely Javascript running in tabs, maybe interacting with an extension or something, and some of the blame goes to the kernel’s poor handling of low memory conditions – but it’s definitely not “dev humblebrag stable” for me.)

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

A lot of these crashes were caused by third party security software injecting code into firefox. There was also some malware, and utilities like driver helpers.
I don’t have precise numbers, but you may be able to search for it.
