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

Working 100 % for me

In Mozilla by default the "dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows" value which controls the Java Script close window is set to "false". In order to fix this issue change this value to "true"

Location of the File:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\all.js

change "dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows" from "false" to "true"

Example:

Default value

pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", false);

Change it to:

pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);

2.Close Mozilla browser

3.Try accessing HTML page which has window.close() code snippet

Note : If you not find "all.js" then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js and add "pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);" into "channel-prefs.js" file
