Re: What's up with "import declarations may only appear at top level of a module"

You're probably trying to compile/execute the script as a plain script
instead of a module. See JS::CompileModule. There's also support for
modules in the JS shell (-m module I think), you could look at that as well.

Also, you might want to consider upgrading to ESR 60, its module support is
likely a lot better than what's in 52.

Hope this helps,
