The Window.close()
method closes the current window, or the window on which it was called.
This method is only allowed to be called for windows that were opened by a script using the window.open()
method. If the window was not opened by a script, an error similar to this one appears in the console: Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.
Syntax
window.close();
Examples
Closing a window opened with window.open()
This example shows a method which opens a window and a second one which closes the window; this demonstrates how to use Window.close()
to close a window opened by calling window.open()
.
//Global var to store a reference to the opened window var openedWindow; function openWindow() { openedWindow = window.open('moreinfo.htm'); } function closeOpenedWindow() { openedWindow.close(); }
Closing the current window
In the past, when you called the window
object's close()
method directly, rather than calling close()
on a window
instance, the browser closed the frontmost window, whether your script created that window or not. This is no longer the case; for security reasons, scripts are no longer allowed to close windows they didn't open. (Firefox 46.0.1: scripts can not close windows, they had not opened)
function closeCurrentWindow() { window.close(); }

[1] Starting in Firefox 46.0.1, Window.close()
can no longer close windows that weren't opened by the same script. This is a security precaution.
