Steps to reproduce:

Examine an Event object when an event is delivered


Actual results:

Expected results:

event.timeStamp should be the current time (or 0) per the W3C:

You're about 8 years out of date. Please don't waste time with long-obsolete specs.

Sorry about the obsolete reference ... but doesn't the one you linked say the same thing? All the other browsers return a real epoch-based timestamp but Firefox doesn't.
