Does Firefox really support the `type` option for the Worker constructor?

Question

I can't seem to be able to instantiate a web worker from a ES6 script file. MDN says it should be possible like this:

const worker = new Worker('my-worker.js', {type:"module"});

That doesn't work for me, I get an error:

 SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module

<html>
<head></head>
<body><script type="text/javascript">
    new Worker("worker.js", { type: "module" });

    </script></body>
</html>

import Nothing from "./nothing.js";

Firefox version: 62.0.2
