+SpecialPowers
+-------------
+
+Some tests may require synthesized user input events or other functions that
+normally cannot be run from a typical script. Layout reftests have access to
+`SpecialPowers` for such cases.
+
+Test authors have ability to access the privilegd `nsIDOMWindowUtils` interface
+using `SpecialPowers.getDOMWindowUtils(window)`. The interface contains many
+interesting abilities, including event synthesization.
