Are you calling this code from inside a popup that you have previously opened with `window.open`? – Darin Dimitrov Dec 29 '12 at 11:24

You cannnot close windows that were *not* opened by JS itself. – AmShaegar Dec 29 '12 at 11:25
Wouldn't that be bad UI design anyway? Phoowwwwffff: "your browser just closed" – frenchie Dec 29 '12 at 11:39
