It's a setting that can be ignored in firefox, since it's rather annoying.

As this is a javascript question, I'll be moving it to the correct forum. In the future please try and pick the forum that most directly relates to your question.

Hi
I've had the same problem and I'm not sure why FF ignores it.

Here's some code that I've tried to use...it just won't work. The same thing happens when I put the window.close() inside a function and then call it later with a button.

<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close Window</a>

Thanks!

JavaScript can only close windows that were opened using JavaScript. There's a workaround/loophole that may not work anymore in the newer versions of Firefox.
