Details

I had four tabs opened and when I clicked the close link on this page mozilla
just closed without even asking me if I really wanted to close the other tabs.

I believe a better behaviour would be to :

a) ask wether or not I want to close the window or
b) close only the tab where I clicked the window.close() link

Verified Duplicate.

Note the component of the duplicate bug: "Tabbed Browser". 
This is not a JavaScript Engine issue. JavaScript Engine deals with the
abstract JavaScript programming language. Specifically, low-level objects
such as String(), Number(), and Date(). The JS Engine is not itself 
aware of browser or DOM objects like window, document, sockets, etc.
