window.close() doesn't work on Firefox, any work around?

Question

I am trying to close a window using window.close() but this works on IE only but not on Firefox. Has anyone encountered this one and any work around?

Thanks...

Answer 1

Did your script open the window? Firefox 2 and later do not allow scripts to close windows that they did not open.

You could try this trick, but I have no idea whether it will work. I live on the side of the population that believes users should be in control of their browser windows, not applications (despite the fact you may have a good reason for this).
