please set your firefox browser:

1.input “about:config ” to your firefox address bar and enter;

2.make sure your “dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows” is true

window.focus(); window.close(); should work in FF 2.0+

FF is MUCH more JS friendly then IE

Haven’t found a way to do this. It is an anti-spam measure apparently, but it has its uses obviously.

Please let me know if anyone knows of code that can close a window with Javascript in Firefox 2.x or 3.x.
