Why closing and showing a different tab? Isn't it equivalent to showing new page in the same window? In this case, the problem becomes trivial.

Please see my comment the question. This is what I would strongly recommend you to do.

As to the "tab", it looks like the browser "decides" weather a new window should be a separate window or a tab page by its own rule, based on the parameters of window.open. The W3 standards don't specify this detail, so you cannot have universal browser-independent control over this feature. Generally, it is recommended to leave it to the user, who can ultimately decide what content should be loaded on a new window, a tab, or in the same window. To most users, adding new windows or tabs without their consent is quite irritating. The users should decide; and your Web application should not rely on any assumptions on what happens on the activation of the link.
