We could do that, but before we do, you should check what other coverage we have on the behavior of Date.now().

Also, have you checked if these tests overlap the more modern tests in sputnik and ietestcenter, or even Test262?  Fixing these ancient Mozilla tests if there is a modern test with similar coverage is probably not worthwhile.
