141328 - Javascript close all tabbed documents

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103452

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Chris Sainty]

The javascript
top.window.close();

in one tabbed window will close down the entire browser including pages loaded
in other tabbed windows.

I also worry that it would be possible to access one tabbed window from another
through the top object, but I havnt looked at the code or bothered to try it out.
something like top.windows[1].document....
I dont know, something to look into :)

No, that would not work.
