Bug Description

mozjs38 is the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine from Firefox 38 ESR. It has not been supported by Mozilla since June 2016.

Now that nothing in Ubuntu 18.10 "cosmic" depends on it, please remove mozjs38 from Ubuntu.

For reference, we expect to ship Ubuntu 18.10 with mozjs60 and mozjs52. Cinnamon's cjs uses mozjs52 and I don't expect it to be ported to mozjs60 in time for 18.10's release.
