Trying to close a window automatically is extremely impolite, and most
browsers disallow this or ask confirmation (but not Mozilla, which is
a big minus for it).
  Popping windows at page load is annoying and also quite impolite (if the
user wants to open a link in a new window, he can do it for himself). Most
browsers have an option to disallow this (and when they do it, your page
functionality breaks badly).
  Trying to resize a browser window is annoying and impolite. Some browsers
have options to disallow this and thus you shouldn't rely on it working.

  And in general, relying on javascript for your site to work is a bad
idea. It should work even if javascripts are completely disabled (it could
work with less functionality, but it should still work and be browsable).
