Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it.

And This Page will not a popup and it is not open by java script so what are the alternative way to close window by Script which is not open by it.

You simply can not close the window by script due to security reasons on chrome and firefox. But there is a workaround posted here. That works on chrome 40 and latest version as I have tested.

chrome closing of opened window

I know it's too late to answer but none of these solution worked for me . I wrote

      onclick="top.window.close();"

and it worked .
