  is supported natively and usable by a web page

You can read the `compatibility table <https://github.com/laurentj/slimerjs/blob/master/API_COMPAT.md>`_ to know details.


Known issues
------------

- On MacOS: you must indicate the full path of your JS script on the command line (fixed in 0.6.1)
- CommonJS modules: you cannot alter objects (they are `freezed <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/freeze>`_ )
  returned by the ``require()`` function. This is a "feature" of the CommonJS
  modules system of the Mozilla Addons SDK (used by SlimerJS).
