    Window Close Function in Firefox 2.0.x?

    Does anyone know of a chunk of JavaScript that will succesfully close a Firefox 2.0.x window?

    I'm trying to set up a close window link in a web page and everything I've found related to Firefox was for older versions of Firefox, but there isn't anything that seems to work in Firefox 2.0.x.

    I'm not a JavaScript expert, so I may not be of much use to you, but can you post the code you're using?

    window.close() works fine. Please post code that proves the opposite.
