To close popup windows in Selenium, use the `driver.switchTo().alert()` method to handle simple pop-ups or alerts. For more complex popups like modal dialogs, you might need to switch to the popup window using `driver.switchTo().window(handle)` where `handle` is the identifier of the popup window. You can then perform actions such as clicking the close button by identifying and interacting with the element. It’s crucial to switch back to the main window or the parent frame after closing the popup to continue your test script smoothly.
