Actually, there is a workround. Try this:

window.opener = top;
window.close();

After executing the statement, did you see the JavaScript console for any error messages?

It is actually a browser-cheat-trick. You cheat the browser by making it think that its window is your-own. As a new browser security patches come up, it is most likely that our workaround might cease to function.

FireFox is the best browser (for the web developers).

True. I like the 'Javascript Console' very much. Even Venkman's Debugger is nice. Have you used it?

Without it, the javascript coding is more complex than building nuclear weapons.

I know - I do like it a lot. I was being ironic here.
