Check the mozilla documentation on window.open. The window features ("directory=...,...,height=350") etc. arguments should be a string:

window.open('/pageaddress.html','winname',"directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=400,height=350");

Try if that works in your browsers. Note that some of the features might be overridden by user preferences, such as "location" (see doc.)

Firefox 3 0 and higher have disabled setting location by default  resizable and status are also disabled by default  You can verify this by typing  about config  in your address bar and filtering by  dom   The items of interest are    dom disable window open feature location dom disable window open feature resizable dom disable window open feature status   You can get further information at the Mozilla Developer site  What this basically means  though  is that you won t be able to do what you want to do   One thing you might want to do  though it won t solve your problem   is put quotes around your window feature parameters  like so   window open   pageaddress html   winname   directories no titlebar no toolbar no location no status no menubar no scrollbars no resizable no width 400 height 350

I know this is a very old question  yes  I agree we can not hide address bar in modern browsers  but we can hide the url in address bar  e g show url about blank   following is my work around solution   var iframe     lt html gt  lt head gt  lt style gt body  html  width  100   height  100   margin  0  padding  0  lt  style gt  lt  head gt  lt body gt  lt iframe src  https   www w3schools com  style  height calc 100  - 4px  width calc 100  - 4px   gt  lt  iframe gt  lt  html gt  lt  body gt     var win   window open        width 600 height 480 toolbar no menubar no resizable yes    win document write iframe

In internet explorer  if the new url is from the same domain as the current url  the window will be open without an address bar   Otherwise  it will cause an address bar to appear   One workaround is to open a page from the same domain and then redirect from that page
