Why is window.Close() not working in Firefox?

Question

Why javascript: window.Close() is not working in Firefox, Is there any solution?

What are the parameters in window.Close()?

Could you be more specific? Which Firefox version are you using and where are you executing this command? In the address bar? You can [read more about `window.close()` at MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.close). Also note that JavaScript is case sensitive, so it should be `close`, not `Close` and you can only close windows you opened with JavaScript. — Felix Kling, Sep 22 '11 at 07:05
There is/was a workaround for closing windows that you haven't opened with javascript, but I don't know if it is still working :) — Walialu, Sep 22 '11 at 07:45

In firefox you can't close a window that is not opened by javascript(pop-up). window.close() will not work.

Probably because it is window.close() - with a lower-case c. JavaScript is a case-sensitive language, close and Close are not the same thing.
