New window opens on every EP page click for some users

Using EP 6.40 SP 13
The content is simple:
-A number of WebDynpro iViews delta-linked to exactly one PAGE each.
-A number of WORKSETS, each with one or more PAGES delta-linked.
-A number of ROLES, each with multiple WORKSETS delta-linked - some PAGES deleted based on the role.
Both the pages and the iViews have the Appearance - Size Height Type attribute set to FULL_PAGE.
Some users never have the problem and some always have the problem. Upon further investigation, it seems some client machines have the problem and others do not.
Would it be browser related? Something strange with the "Open in new Window" menu option?
Anyone have some ideas as to the cause of the problem?

Hi:
Thanks, it is not an error situation after all.
It was the Work Protect Mode, the clients production default is 1 - always open a new screen.
I suppose some users just use the system differently than others in a consistent fashion.
Thanks again,
Chad

New outlook install not showing all email histories for some users

Hello,
I recently installed outlook 2013 on a windows 8 machine connected to exchange. I noticed it is not showing all the email histories for a particular user. Is there an index that needs to be rebuilt or something? Some users it shows a
bunch emails for others it only shows one or two. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Do you mean only one particular user couldn't view all messages from Outlook?
From this sentence "Some users it shows a bunch emails for others it only shows one or two.", it seems that this issue affect some users, not only one.
If only one user is affected by this problem, you can follow the steps below to check result.
1. Please check if it displays all mails in OWA.
2. And please switch between Outlook cached mode and online mode to check result.
If some users are affected, please check database index status.

If i click on a link fire fox will open a new window to google every 3 or 4 times i click on a link why is this happening

if i go on snowest and click on the forums firefox will open a new window to google for no reason and it will just keep opening a new window after i close it and click on a sub forum and iv run 3 different virus programs and nothing has come up. whats going on ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hi Becky,
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (link to article explaining how it works) - if it's something within Firefox (and it does sound that way), this should make it run normally until restarted.
If Firefox works normally in Safe Mode, close it and start safe mode again, but on the starting dialog (again, see the article) select the "Disable all add-ons" option and click the "Make Changes and Restart" button.
If Firefox still runs as it's supposed to, you can begin enabling the add-ons one by one, testing for each. This way you should be able to find the add-on that seems to cause the problem.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

A new window opens for everything I click, what could be wrong?

Everytime I click anything, it opens in a new window, rather than changing the page I'm on. If I specify I can get it to open in a new tab, but the page itself refuses to change. It happened randomly. I haven't touched anything in the options, though I have been trying to see if t here is anything wrong there. I found nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what could be going on?
== This happened ==

== Just a few minutes ago

everything. anything i clicked would open in a new window. i went to options, but there was nothing off. i tried altering them anyway, and then setting them back to normal and it did nothing. anything clicked, opened in a new windo.
oddly enough it seems to have self-corrected somehow, which makes me a bit uncomfortable, not knowing how or why this began, or how it came to cease...

How to open a new window from submit button &dialog page in current window?

We have a requirement, wherein we have a OAF search page for PO lines with search criteria, Go button to search ,result region (table layout) and a submit button(Create new expedite).
1. Now user can select some lines from result region and click on Submit button.
2. On click of submit button we need to pop up a window or may be a dialog page asking that " Do you want open supplier web link portal or not?".
3. If user clicks yes(in Dialog page) then first fetch the URL from a look up maintained in Oracle EBS on the basis of supplier of the lines selected and then open that URL in a new window and side by side we need to open a dialog page in search page asking "whether user has updated the expedite info in supplier portal or not?". On basis of this we need to updated some count in custom tables.
So in step 3 i am facing problem, that how to open an URL in a new window through a submit button and side by side want to open a dialog page in the current window also.
Hope a quick response from you all.
Note:- To open a custom page we can have a link or button(button of type button and not submit button) on base page with destination url property as following javascript:
javascript:var a = window.open('OA.jsp?page=/XXX/oracle/apps/xxx/......&retainAM=Y', 'a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no'); a.focus();
So the question is how to do the same for submit button on OAF page???

Antriksh,
You just need to attach a submit action in button bean and not submit button bean, based on the output of confirm type of alert in javascript.
Here is code u need to put in destination url of the button:
//replace <confirm message> by message you want to show.
javascript:input=confirm('<confirm message>');if(input==true){submitForm('DefaultFormName',0,{XXX:' abc'});}" Now in the process request of the base page CO, u can get parametre 'XXX' from the pagecontext....so
if((("abc").equals(pageContext.getParameter("XXX"))))
{/// custom LOGIC }
The same i have replied in your mail. I hope this resolves the issue.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
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:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] 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.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#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.

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

On eBay, when I click "enlarge" for item picture, the new window opens off screen; how can change the default location?

It used to be that when I clicked "enlarge" under the item picture, on items that offer this feature, the new window opened to the left of the screen, which is useful. Now, however, only the left-hand edge of the new window with the enlarged image is visible on the right hand side of my screen and I have to pull it across every time, which gets annoying. I think this started after I created two windows in eBay, one of which was on the right of my screen. Now it seems that the enlarged image window always opens where the second of the two eBay windows was located.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks, Simon

Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
- Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
- Report Broken Web Site
- Check for Updates
- About Firefox

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

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

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.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

When I click to open anything I get a box saying open link in new window, open link in new tab, download linked file etc. When I go to close anything I get hide toolbar, customize toolbar. It takes 3-5 clicks and it will finally close.

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
