Browser compatibility
BCD tables only load in the browser
As of Firefox 7, websites can no longer move a browser window in the following cases:
- You can't move a window or tab that wasn't created by
Window.open()
. - You can't move a window or tab when it's in a window with more than one tab.
Note: This function might not move the window synchronously. In some environments (like Wayland, or mobile) it might not move the window at all. Currently there's no way to listen to a move event, see CSS Working Group issue #7693.
