Compatibility notes

  • Prior to SpiderMonkey 48 (Firefox 48 / Thunderbird 48 / SeaMonkey 2.45), a non-standard, global RegExp.multiline property existed in addition to this RegExp.prototype.multiline property. It is removed in newer versions (see bug 1219757). Use the property described on this page or the m flag instead.
