Maybe it is.  I will try that instead.

So I thought, but it doesn't seem to be available there:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/spidermonkey/releases/

The latest release there is version 45.  In the pre-releases there's
version 59.

Maybe I can add comment in the form:

;; The release notes at 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Releases/52
;; states: “You can download full source code from treeherder, by going
;; to the mozilla-esr52 repository and clicking on the first SM(pkg)
;; link you see.  The download link below is the result of that.

Would that be sufficient?

Sure.  Thanks for your valuable time.
