154993 - javascript [parent.]window.close() closes browser window, not tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103452

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[mozilla]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607
BuildID:    1.0.0

The page at http://www.tortall.net/mozilla-window-close.html has a
"javascript:window.close()" javascript link at the bottom of the page.  When
this window is open in a tab, this close window function closes the entire
browser window instead of just the tab.  The problem also occurs on other pages
(no link at the moment) which use frames and use parent.window.close() from
within a frame.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.tortall.net/mozilla-window-close.html
2. Open a new browser tab with Control-T or File|New|Navigator Tab
3. Switch back to the http://www.tortall.net/mozilla-window-close.html tab.
4. Click on the "javascript:window.close()" link.

Actual Results:  The entire browser window closes (thus closing all tabs).

Expected Results:  Only the tab containing the javascript:window.close() link
should have closed.
