Details

This isn't a duplicate of #103452, although both one are narrowly interconnected. If non-scripted window/tab has been closed by javascript, user loses history of this window, where could be present important information. Windows/tabs opened by user, not via javascript, should'nt be closed whithout user's consent. Both NS4 and MSIE require confirmation, and I would Mozilla to have same behavior. I think, if true patching for this bug is difficult, requiring confirmation to close scripted window is lesser of two evils in comparison with closing non-scripted window without consent.
Dupe of bug 32571?
Yep. Requests about confirmation before closing the window are duped to that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 30571 ***
