Specifications

Browser compatibility

As of Firefox 7, websites can no longer move a browser window in the following cases:

1. You can't move a window or tab that wasn't created by Window.open().
2. 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.
