about:config trick for window.close() In Firefox

This article is from my exp. on turning on the configuration in FF after each release.The script window.close() won’t work after every release from mozilla. The reason i found was “dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows” in all.js will be set to false by default. I was trying to do it in the hard way,i.e Go to the location of all.js and change it manually. But i found a another easy method we can call the about:config page in FireFox, we can toggle it easier. The following shows how to do it.
Enter about:config in location bar
Openingabtcnfg
Shows all the options available
options
Search for dom.allow_script
allow_scripts
Highlight the entry dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows and double click to toggle to true
Then write a simple script to check window.close()
