Description:

The close() method provides a way to close a browser tab group along with all browser tab groups and browser tabs within the associated tab group collection and tab collection, respectively.

Parameters:

Example:

The following example creates a button on the browser toolbar. When the button is clicked, the last focused window is detected and then closed.

var UIItemProperties = {
  disabled: false,
  title: "Example extension",
  icon: "images/icon_18.png",
  onclick: function() {
    // Get the last focused window
    var win = opera.extension.windows.getLastFocused();
    
    // Close the window
    win.close();
  }
};

// Create the button and add it to the toolbar.
