Has anyone found a work around for this. I have a main window with a close button but I have tried many versions of closing with javascript and it wont let me in FF.

It says "scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script."

This works in every other browser but FF

I have tried opening this main window two ways. 1. key in url directly 2. coming from another page with a < a href link

Is there a work around?

If that page didn't open a new window with a script, Firefox isn't going to allow a script on that page to close that window.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.
