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...

window.close(); worked for me (FF 31.5.0). However, in order for me to get it to work I had to change the advanced settings:

about:config -> dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows = true;
