Is there any easy work around to close the current tab and open a new tab by javascript?

you can use location.replace for same goal:

window.location.replace('https://stackoverflow.com/');

window.open(url,'_blank');
this.close();

window.open will open the new tab according to the user browser settings only. Sorry that I didn't find any way to open an url in new tab if the user's browser settings wont allow you to.

In browser settings, set it to allow popups and then try. This will work.

Instead, to disable back button you can use options given in this page
