Solution 3

That might be what you are looking for:

C#

function closeWindow() {
    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserWrite");
    alert("This will close the window");
    window.open('','_self');
    window.close();
}

Good luck

for mozila:
about:config
search dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows
and change false to true
close the browser
then
window.close();
working perfectly

for dynamically firefox and chrome in click event

var browsernames = (function (test) {
switch (true) {
case test.indexOf("edge") > -1: return "edge";
case test.indexOf("edg") > -1: return "chromium based edge (dev or canary)";
case test.indexOf("opr") > -1 && !!window.opr: return "opera";
case test.indexOf("chrome") > -1 && !!window.chrome: return "chrome";
case test.indexOf("trident") > -1: return "ie";
case test.indexOf("firefox") > -1: return "firefox";
case test.indexOf("safari") > -1: return "safari";
default: return "other";
}
})(window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase());
// alert(browser);

if (browsernames == 'chrome')
{
var win = window.open("", "_self");
win.close();
}
if (browsernames == 'firefox')
{
// window.open('', '_parent', '');
window.close();
}

Solution 1

win.open return a reference to the open window
try this code

C#

var myWin = window.open('','_parent','');
myWin.close();

it will work
