That is true, but not complete. The browser will not ask for confirmation if 
the window has been opened by a script. The opening script may (but needs 
not) specify that the menubar and the location bar will not be shown. Even 
if the script specifies they should be visible, the window can be closed 
without confirmation because it has been opened by JavaScript.
