Public bug reported:

mozjs52 is required for gjs 3.26 which is required for GNOME Shell 3.26.

mozjs is the Spidermonkey JavaScript engine used by Firefox ESR.

Mozilla has not officially released mozjs52 yet although uh, Firefox 45
ESR is no longer supported either.

There are tarballs at 
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-esr52&filter-searchStr=sm-tc
Click the pkg link when you expand a recent SM-tc set.

Since gjs is the only rdpends of mozjs38 (which was never packaged in
Debian), we'll probably drop mozjs38 from Ubuntu as soon as we switch
gjs over to mozjs52.

I'd like for this to get into Ubuntu by the middle of the August so that
we can do the GNOME 3.26 Beta transition in time for Ubuntu Feature
Freeze, if we decide to target GNOME 3.26 this cycle.
