Did you try Googleing window.close firefox
I did and found the answer immediately.
Takes a look at http://www.interwebby.com/blog/2006/02/04/3/
and there are other hints returned from that google search

Paul,

Isn't this a security issue? I mean, it should not be possible to close
a window you didn't open. I find the solution very creative though.

I don't look after FireFox's security so you're asking the wrong person.
