As of Firefox 54, I intend to turn on, by default, the code that makes Event.timeStamp a DOMHighResTimeStamp. This makes this member a double whose value is the number of milliseconds since the time origin.
This has been developed behind the dom.event.highrestimestamp.enabled preference. This preference has been set to true on Windows for Nightly/DevEdition for nearly 3 years, similarly on Linux for 1.5 years, on Mac since last December, and on Android since today. It is disabled on beta/release for all platforms, however. Chrome have shipped this since April last year. There were compatibility concerns at the time but Chrome have continued shipping this and it appears that Edge are considering making this change, and WebKit might if either Gecko or Edge ship this[1]. (The original work on this goes back to bug 77992 which I believe predates our "Intent to implement" practice so there is no intent to implement mail to point to.)
