 DG> Unfortunately no luck that way either.

You might try 'apt-cache search libmozjs'. I have an old version on my pi, but I get:
apt-cache search libmozjs
libmozjs-102-0 - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library
libmozjs-102-dev - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library - development headers
libmozjs-78-0 - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library
libmozjs-78-dev - SpiderMonkey JavaScript library - development headers

Then at least you can see what is available.
