(Whiteboard: [fingerprinting][fp-triaged])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0 Build ID: 20100101 Steps to reproduce: I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in Firefox 56.0b6 on a fresh profile and went to the website https://alvarotrigo.com/multiScroll/ Actual results: The scrolling was extremely janky. Expected results: The scrolling should have been smooth, as can be experienced by disabling privacy.resistFingerprinting. A discussion about the same can be found here: https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js/issues/334#issuecomment-324219878

It looks like Bug 1217238 introduces this jank. It will reduce the javascript time precision to 100 ms when 'privacy.resistFingerprinting' is true. So, this scrolling API must based on certine timing information of javascript, it get janky when the timing is no longer precise.
