Window.Close Javascript in Firefox

Experts,

I have a rather interesting issue here...

My company has a yearly conference and produces proceedings after each conference which is disbursed on a  CD-Rom.  This year, we are including "mobile firefox" on the CD which will open in full screen mode with our index.htm page set as the home page in the firefox config file.

now the problem is, we have a close link and when we click it, nothing happens.  If I open the same page in IE the link works fine.

Any thoughts on how to overcome this obsticle? - has anyone experienced anything similar?

Can you paste the source code (HTML) of index.html page here?

sailing42,

Does other JavaScript code work?  This may seem obvious but has the version on the CD been set up with JavaScript disabled?
