You can't close windows or tabs you did not open. If the script opens the window, it can close it.

bz, I know the reason why mozilla changed its behavior. but there are many sites using this feature, and it works fine with netscape 7. and I think it is a good feature. can it be turned on by preference setting?

> can it be turned on by preference setting? Yes. pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true); Jerry, I don't think any feature which allows windows with the information and history in them to be closed is a good feature.... There is also a bug on having a confirmation dialog in such cases so the user can decide whether to close the window -- bug 190515. I'd call this a duplicate of that one, if not invalid, but over to Mitch to sort out this whack-a-mole game.

I'd call this a dup of bug 190515 (which should be wontfix IMO). Btw, window.close() correctly closes just one tab when called and allowed in a tabbed window.
