Close Firefox tab programmatically?

Question

I need to close firefox's current tab, either by javascript or any other method, if possible.

I had found somewhere the following solutions:

window.close();

and

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

and both the codes are working in:

But not in Firefox, I want this working in Firefox.

I have Firefox 52.0, Please Suggest any method,...

Thankyou

Try this

window.open(document.URL,'_self','resizable=no,top=-245,width=250,height=250,scrollbars=no');
window.close();

This should work on chrome and firefox, collected from Close firefox tab from javascript

How are you using it? Tested it on Firefox and Chrome, it should be working. – azs06 Apr 02 '17 at 06:23
I have used it through custom HTML file and in console scripting both, but failed in firefox. – Amresh Sharma Apr 28 '17 at 06:22
Modern security standards do not permit this behavior. – Raphael Jun 14 '18 at 11:38
