<p>[1] From Gecko 2 (Firefox 4) to Gecko 18 included, Gecko supported this interface with the non-standard <code>nsIDOMMozURLProperty</code> internal type. As the only to access such an object was through {{domxref("window.URL")}}, in practice, this didn't make any difference.</p>
<h2 id="Chrome_Code_-_Scope_Availability">Chrome Code - Scope Availability</h2>
<p>To use from chrome code, JSM and Bootstrap scope, you have to import it like this:</p>
<pre class="brush: js">Cu.importGlobalProperties(['URL']);

<p><code>URL</code> is available in Worker scopes.</p>
