Generally speaking, this is not allowed. Many people have posted their tricks for it over the years on the mozillaZine web development forum, so you might search there:

Thanks For your reply but here in the provided link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 .I am not finding the solution.So it would be better to directly post the answer here itself. Actually I know it is not possible close the window until unless they opened by script,But if you have any other suggestion about this so i can implement and that will meet the requirement as well. My requirement is when I will click the CLOSE button that time it has to close that application tab in firefox.This feature is pretty working in the other browser well except in the firefox only.So i hope if there is another way to fulfill this requirement.Thanks in advance once again. Please have a look at this program Here i written a simple program for closing the window and this is working well in other browser as i tested but not in firefox .....

Close the Window...
<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="window.open('','_parent',''); window.close();">When you run window.open() into _parent, you are navigating the current window to a different page, thus unloading the page containing your running script. I think Firefox may be terminating the script when you unload the page in which it is running.
Good Mrng, Still this problem is there so please give any suggestion that will meet the requirement.And if you have any code that will close the window in firefox so i can implement in my project. Now it is really become critical for me so ,thanks in advance
To avoid confusing other readers of this thread, can you un-mark my earlier reply as solving your problem?
