Generally speaking, browsers only like a window to be closed via javascript if the window was opened via javascript, as its not a great user experience to have windows disappearing unexpectedly.

This goes back to my point that browsers generally don't allow this behaviour.  Some will, some won't.  I doubt you'll be able to force a browser to behave in a way that the designers didn't want it to.

Hi Bob , I have faced the same problem in the below code
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js")}

var qr = sforce.connection.query("SELECT Id, Status FROM Case where Id='" + "{!Case.Id}" + "'");
var records = qr.getArray("records");





var o = new sforce.SObject("Case");
o.id = "{!Case.Id}";


o.Status = "Closed";


sforce.connection.update([o]);

window.parent.close();


It is working to close the parent window in IE and Chrome nut it's not working in the Mozilla. How can I solve this issue .

Thanks,
