I am using <a href="javascript:window.close()"> to close the window at the completion of an online survey. I works OK in IE and used to work in Firefox. Now the script does not do anything in 3.6 and above . In IE it closes a window through a GUI

In Firefox you can only close a window that was previously opened via JavaScript
