PerformancePoint right click action opens in un-resizable window after migration.

Greets all,
We've recently upgraded a client's SharePoint 2010 farm to 2013 including a number of PerformancePoint dashboards. Most of these dashboards include Analytics charts with Right-click actions that open Reporting Services Reports.
Since the migration, these windows now open in a 600 * 600 window, with no toolbars and no ability to resize in IE. Firefox and Chrome work fine.
We've traced the problem to the PPSMA.NewWindow.openUrl() method that is supplied in the dashboardframework.js as part of PerformancePoint. This method calls window.open(URL,name,options) but doesn't specify the resizable=yes option. This is a completely
different method tot hat used by the SP2010 version of PPS as far as we can see.
My current workaround is to currently try and overide this function be redefining it on the page but with the option. I'd be greatful if anyone else has come across this and solved it another way? (Or if it's a bug in PPS that MS have fixed with an update,
but I can't find any info..)
Many thanks
Paul.
PS.. The client environment is using IE9, so I haven't been able to test this in 10 or 11.

How to forbid the use of right click to open a pop up window from a link ?

I would like to prevent the user from opening pop up windows using the right button of the mouse on a link.
Is it possible ?
Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion.
Paolo

Is this regarding OAF ? if this is a requirement in OAF, then its not possible(unless you put in some javascript function in the page).
If you want to do it in other jsps there are a lot of examples available in google on how to do this.
Thanks
Tapash

Firefox 29 When I right click to open in a new tab, the tab will open but it will be a blank page. Tried Firefox Safe Mode & with Ad On Disabled Nothing

When I right click to open in new tab, the new tab will open but the page is blank. I have tried it in Firefox Safe Mode & with Add Ons Disabled, still doesn't work.

Hi UKBlue,
Is your new tab page set to about:blank? You can change this from the about:config page or you can restore defaults by resetting Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

My own problem not a system one

Right clicking anything in web pages (for an example, when I want to open a link in a new window) it just gives me some grey box. How do I fix this?

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
WORKAROUNDS
That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.
Thanks for helping me out.

Links on websites will not open unless I right click and open in new tab/ window

This just started yesterday. Whenever I go to a website I am unable to just click on a link on the page and be directed. When the mouse goes over the link the info appears in the bottom bar but when I click nothing happens. In order to navigate to the link I have to right click and open in a new tab or page.
Please help on fixing this issue.
Thanks!

Safari 3.1's right click problem opening links in new tabs

For those of us who use a two-button mouse and like to open links in new tabs, Safari 3.1 has introduced problems that didn't previously exist. Right-click to open a new tab, then go back to the original document, and the problem appears. The mouse cursor no longer underlines links that are scrolled over. That makes it hard to tell if links are live or not. To restore that capacity, you have to left click somewhere on the page. Only then does normally underlining resume.
A minor thing, but one that adds dozens of clicks to my day that weren't there before. Is there any way to avoid it?

I have exactly the same problem, and i dont know what could be the reason. i tried different things, reapir permissions, reinstall Safari, clear the cache without any result. also if the link has a floating/bubble window (or what), it freezes too, and have to click somewhere else into the page to clear them. very annoying. =(
...on Windows it works correctly by the way...

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

Problems using right click to open in new Tab or Window. Will not work. How do you solve this. Have v5.0 installed.

I have the latest version of Firefox installed. Version 5.0.
When searching on Google and use right-click to open in new tab or window. Keep getting blank tab.
Can somebody advise how to solve this.
Thank you.

Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
