+=================
+avoid-Date-timing
+=================
+
+Rejects grabbing the current time via Date.now() or new Date() for timing
+purposes when the less problematic performance.now() can be used instead.
+
+The performance.now() function returns milliseconds since page load. To
+convert that to milliseconds since the epoch, use:
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+ performance.timing.navigationStart + performance.now()
+
+Often timing relative to the page load is adequate and that conversion may not
+be necessary.
+
+Examples of incorrect code for this rule:
+-----------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+ Date.now()
+
+Examples of correct code for this rule:
+---------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+ new Date('2017-07-11');
+ performance.now()

+===========
+Environment
+===========
+
+These environments are available by specifying a comment at the top of the file,
+e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+ /* eslint-env mozilla/chrome-worker */
+
+There are also built-in ESLint environments available as well. Find them here: http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#specifying-environments
+
+browser-window
+--------------
+
+Defines the environment for scripts that are in the main browser.xhtml scope.
+
+chrome-worker
+-------------
+
+Defines the environment for chrome workers. This differs from normal workers by
+the fact that `ctypes` can be accessed as well.
+
+frame-script
+------------
+
+Defines the environment for frame scripts.
+
+jsm
+---
+
+Defines the environment for jsm files (javascript modules).

+===================
+no-throw-cr-literal
+===================
+
+This is similar to the ESLint built-in rule no-throw-literal. It disallows
+throwing Components.results code directly.
+
+Throwing bare literals is inferior to throwing Exception objects, which provide
+stack information. Cr.ERRORs should be be passed as the second argument to
+``Components.Exception()`` to create an Exception object with stack info, and
+the correct result property corresponding to the NS_ERROR that other code
+expects.
+Using a regular ``new Error()`` to wrap just turns it into a string and doesn't
+set the result property, so the errors can't be recognised.
+
+This option can be autofixed (``--fix``).
