From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020419 BuildID: 2002041903 If a page uses window.close() and the user is using tabbed windows the function closes the entire browser window. I know the function is acting exactly how it is supposed to but it's not exactly the user would think it would react. I think it would be a nice user friendly feature to only shut down the active tab with the window.close() function is fired. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.find a page that uses the window.close javascript function 2.make that event fire 3. Actual Results: the whole browser is closed. Expected Results: only the tab should close
