Details

When I have a browser window with 2 or more tabs, and I type
javascript:window.close(), I expect that it will only close the current tab,
since most websites assume that your browsing in a window, not in tabs.
But instead, it closes the entire window.

This is annoying when you opens a popup window in a tab, and that page has a
link called "Close this window". When I click on that link, I expect that only
the current tab will close, not the entire window.
