I suggest mention Newer versions less or equal to 91 of libmozjs... just to be a bit more explicit.

I would suggest this, which is i think a bit more comprehensive approach.
Your distribution might provide libmozjs-68-dev instead of libmozjs-60-dev, and both are supported. Additionally, newer versions of libmozjs-...-dev may also be compatible. To see which versions are available, use the command "apt-cache search libmozjs"
