Torbutton could make use of a getinfo command to reduce the fingerprinting
issues that a user has wrt their Date() object (see #2940).
However, the threading support in Firefox is not good enough for us to
easily make a full tor controller that listens for events. It would be
much easier if the current skew (ideally down to milliseconds if possible)
was available as a getinfo command, so that Torbutton could just query it
and update the browser's time offset.
I am making this a 'major' enhancement because clock skew is an important
issue to address to reduce fingerprinting.
