What is the code that is not working -- can you link to a page demonstrating the problem?
Another user mentioned an issue with onbeforeunload not working the same in the last tab in a window versus a case where there is more than one tab. Does that apply to your scenario, or do both the parent and child windows have only one tab?
The thing is, I have a parent window from which i have to open 5 child windows and for the 6th child window i kept a limitation as "max screen limit reached". Now if i close any one of the 5 child windows its record must be deleted from the database so that i can open one more child window. My attempt worked well for Firefox 40 but had a problem for Firefox 41. so please guide me asap.

I have the same question: what is the code that worked before but has stopped working in Firefox 41?
it is deleting the session record from the database table using ajax
To research what might have changed in Firefox 41 related to beforeunload and XMLHttpRequest, try the link to all the related "bug" reports ("complete list of changes") on this page: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/41.0.2/releasenotes/
