[Greasemonkey] Re: Closing firefox tabs

[Bill Donnelly]

you would need:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege 
("UniversalBrowserWrite");

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-scripts.html#privs

the problem is, this ALWAYS pops up an alert notifying the user and 
asking for
Okay/Cancel to allow the additional privileges -- normally you should 
ALWAYS Cancel
when you see this alert, except when you know you really want to allow 
it for
a TRUSTED script --- the point is that, one way or the other, you always 
get an alert

(the person who stated elsewhere that top.close() works is incorrect -- 
the window
they were closing was apparently an owned window that was opened from a 
script)
