Not sure you can do this, but it might be easier to detect url changes, and based on current url, route to your login page. See https://dash.plot.ly/urls for more info and examples.

Also, if you found a way to do this in Chrome/IE, would the same method work for Firefox, Moziilla, etc?

Possibly…the following may work but it’s untested. Unfortunately, the python webbrowswer module does not have a close() method.

import time
import subprocess

# Store this, possibly in a dcc.Store component
web_process = subprocess.Popen(["google", "http://www.yourwebsite"])

# When logout button click detected, try this..
web_process.kill()
