Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing browser windows. A determination is made as to whether window management is enabled for a window associated with a browser by checking a set of stored parameters, wherein the window displays content from a source identified by a uniform resource locator. A further determination is made as to whether a selected uniform resource locator designated for window management in the set of stored parameters matches the uniform resource locator in response to the window being enabled for window management. The window is closed if a selected period of time associated with the selected uniform resource locator has elapsed without user activity in response to the uniform resource locator matching the selected uniform resource locator.
