Answer 2

1. Close the current tab

   You can't close the current tab until and unless it has parent reference

Its simple, if the current tab is opened by self I mean, you went to browser and typed the url in the url bar can't be closed with the javascript. Because of security reasons browsers will not allow these type of things.

If you try the following code

window.close();

you'll get following warning message by browser

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

If the tab is opened with window.open, right click on the link and opened on anchor tag then following should work

window.close();
self.close();

2. Opening new tab using the javascript :

window.open("https://stackoverflow.com");
