This change started as a small change to pull types from DefinitelyTyped over to
Puppeteer for the `evaluateHandle` function but instead ended up also fixing
what looks to be a long standing issue with our existing documentation.
`evaluateHandle` can in fact return an `ElementHandle` rather than a `JSHandle`.
Note that `ElementHandle` extends `JSHandle` so whilst the docs are technically
correct (all ElementHandles are JSHandles) it's confusing because JSHandles
don't have methods like `click` on them, but ElementHandles do.
if you return something that is an HTML element:
```
const button = page.evaluateHandle(() => document.querySelector('button'));
// this is an ElementHandle, not a JSHandle
```
Therefore I've updated the original docs and added a large explanation to the
TSDoc for `page.evaluateHandle`.
In TypeScript land we'll assume the function will return a `JSHandle` but you
can tell TS otherwise via the generic argument, which can only be `JSHandle`
(the default) or `ElementHandle`:
```
const button = page.evaluateHandle<ElementHandle>(() => document.querySelector('button'));
```
As far as I can tell these became irrelevant as of v1.15 which added
`puppeteer.errors` and `puppeteer.devices [1]. This is a breaking change
but one that's easily mitigated. We've said that we don't consider
changes to our folder/file structure a breaking change, but we can't
really do that if we have these two top level files that we've
documented.

Just one was used externally and I wrapped that up in a method. I think
it's a useful method to provide (I can imagine wanting to know if JS is
enabled on a page) so I think there's no harm here (I'd rather that then
have JSHandle reach into a private variable).
Replacing the Node EventEmitter with Mitt caused more problems than
anticipated for end users due to the API differences and the amount of
people who relied on the EventEmitter API. In hindsight this clearly
should have been explored more and then released as a breaking v4.
This commit rolls us back to the built in Node EventEmitter library
which we can release to get everyone back on stable builds. We can then
consider our approach to migrating to Mitt and when we do do that we can
release it as a breaking change and properly document the migration
strategy and approach.
* chore: migrate to Mitt as the EventEmitter
This commit moves us to using Mitt [1] for the event emitter in
Puppeteer. This removes our dependency to Node's EventEmitter which is
part of a larger stream of work to enable a Puppeteer-web version that
doesn't depend on Node.
There are no large breaking changes as we support the main methods that
EventEmitter had, but it also provides some methods that Puppeteer
didn't use. Technically end users could depend on this but it's
unlikely.

It conflicts with an inbuilt TypeScript `Request` type so can cause
confusion when in TS land. Note: `Response.ts` and `Worker.ts` also
suffer from this; PRs to rename them are incoming.
Fixes an edge case where Puppeteer looked for a Chromium revision when launching Firefox.
Allow appropriate Launcher to be instantiated when calling `Puppeteer.connect`.
Add an example of running Firefox.
The recommended Dockerfile uses node:10-slim image as a base,
but the base image does not contain wget command anymore.
(About the reason, see https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/issues/1185)
So fixed the problem.
* (feat) Add option to fetch Firefox Nightly
Add Firefox support to BrowserFetcher and the install script.
By default, the latest Firefox Nightly is downloaded
directly from archive.mozilla.org (dmg, tar.bz2 and zip)
This also required changes that impact `puppeteer.launch()`
and `puppeteer.executablePath()`
Fixes#5151

* chore: update relevant Node.js versions from 8 to 10
* chore: remove node6 and node8 folders from puppeteer-firefox ci
* fix: loosen definition for proc.stdio
* fix: update typescript version used in npm run test-types
This makes it more clear that the callback receives an actual array of nodes instead of just a NodeList.

This changes the Chromium revision to r722234 (Chrome 80.0.3987.0),
since that's the most recent version in the Chromium 80 range for
which a download exists for all supported platforms.
* feat: Set which browser to launch via PUPPETEER_PRODUCT
This change introduces a PUPPETEER_PRODUCT environment
variable as a first step toward using Puppeteer with
many different browsers. Setting PUPPETEER_PRODUCT=firefox, for
example, enables Firefox-specific Launcher settings.
The state is also exposed as `puppeteer.product` in the API
to support adding other product-specific behaviour as needed.
The bulk of the change is a refactoring in Launcher
to decouple generic browser start-up from product-specific
configuration.
Respecting the puppeteer-core restriction for PUPPETEER_
environment variables, lazily instantiate the Launcher
based on a `product` Puppeteer.launch option, if available.
* test: Distinguish Juggler unit tests from Firefox
The funit script is renamed to fjunit (j for Juggler, which is
used only by the experimental puppeteer-firefox package.
In contrast, the funit script now refers to running Puppeteer
unit tests against the main puppeteer package with Firefox.
To do so with Firefox Nightly, run:
`BINARY=path/to/firefox npm run funit`
A number of changes in this patch make it easier to run
Puppeteer unit tests in Mozilla's CI.
Adds note about Jest maxWorkers as well as the base image to start with. This is an improvement over the previous section I wrote, from me banging my head against a YAML file all week 🙃.
This came from personal difficulties in running Puppeteer tests on CircleCI. I tried to keep the note as brief as possible, while being helpful for an entire CI platform.
