window.close(), self.close() not working on mozilla firefox

Question

I want to close window on logout. I have used

• window.close(),
• self.close(),
• var win = window.open(\"\",\"_s

Answer 1

I have found that Firefox can only use window.close() when script has been called to open that window in the first place.

Read here for more info.

So if you didn't use a script to open that window, it can't be done.
