163227 - Close Window Closes the Browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103452

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[theraven]

When a Javascript tries to close the browser window, it closes the entire
browser (including other tabs open tabs) without asking for any kind of
confirmation.  This would potentially allow a malicious JavaScript to
selectively close Mozilla browsers.  At the very least the script should only be
able to close the current tab, not the entire browser, and ideally it should
request confirmation for this.

Please, always add your build ID to any bug report and use a current Mozilla build.
This was fixed some time ago.
