w/zoteroinstalledwedo a window,open() followed by a window.close() in tha window. Zotero remains and the window is still open. How do I close the window with zotero present in FF w/o disabling zotero?

more options

the js function to window.open() is in pageAA on a tab. We click the form or link to open the popup to run a video. We have a close button on the popup window. When that is clicked the window.close() js is executed on that page leaving Zotero present and the popup still open. We've tried using close() window.close() name.window.close() and all fail the same way. Short of disabling Zotero is there a way to close the popup in FF and any other addons with one shot?

Thank's but still no fix.

In safe mode everything works. Without Zotero - everything works.

When the popup is loaded with Zotero, the tab shows a constant "Loading" with the circular in process icon. The Zotero icon shows to the left of the tab.

If I right click on Zotero and close it, the close() js works properly

Is there a way to do a window.open() with: A. no tabs -or- B. block all add on's -or- C. to kill an add on before doing the close()?
