I'm a web developer and I want to close a firefox tab programmatically with javascript...normally window.close(); should do the trick however with new versions of firefox the code just don't work and I searched a lot among forums and I couldn't find the proper answer...since this is the official site of mozilla firefox I taught maybe I could find an answer here... So how can I close a firefox tab programmatically? thanks

If your code is opening that window, you should be able to close it via window.close(); If it is a window that you didn't open it isn't going to work.
