From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010326 BuildID: 2001032614 window.close() is capable of closing a root navigator window without asking for permission. Without asking, it should only be able to close a window that was opened with window.open(). This can cause problems if a script is designed to run both in a popup and in a root window, with the ability to close the popup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a document with: '<script>window.close();</script>'. 2. Open it. Actual Results: It closes your browser, even if it's the only window open. Expected Results: Popped up a dialog asking if you wanted to close the window. This behavior has changed from Netscape. In Netscape a window.close() is only capable of closing a window that was opened with window.open() without asking. It has to ask to close windows that were opened either with File->New Navigator Window, or by opening Netscape.
