Open URL in new window function not working.

Please please please can someone help. The openURL function that I have linked to a button and a click box will just not work anymore in a new project. I have searched everywhere for an answer and all I can find is that it is something to do with a flash update preventing this and some code was provided as a work around. However I only have captivate 4 and 5 and have no way of editing this code to allow the new windows to function. If these functions are no longer available within captivate then captivate is nolonger any use to me. Can anyone help?

Open link in new window will not work

I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Open Link in New Window is not working...

When I right click on a link and select '''Open Link in New Window''', a new window opens but there is nothing on it.
The same thing happens when I right click on a Tab and select '''Move to New Window'''.
Right click and select '''Open Link in New Tab''' works just fine.

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

Open Link in New Window Option Not Working in Top Link Bar

Hello,
We have a 'Popular Links' section in our Top Link Bar for our intranet site that contains a list of frequently used links. Since most of these links navigate to sites outside of SharePoint, we would like these to open in a new tab or window when clicked.
I've enabled the 'Open Link in New Window' option under Site Navigation Settings for each link, however when a user clicks the links that have had this option enabled the content is still loaded in the current tab.
Is this the correct set of steps to enable this content, or is there a better way to accomplish this that actually works?
**SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure has been activated.

You can try deactivating Minimal Download Strategy feature present under "Manage Site Features"....

I can only open up one window with multiple tabs; right click "open in a new window" does not work. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox with same results.

Just bought a new i5 laptop and am transferring files, etc onto new box. Last night I had two separate Firefox windows up. I downloaded Nexus Ultimate late and rebooted this morning. I had to restart Firefox then, and it did not save my settings/tabs as I prompted it to do when it shut down to reboot.
I uninstalled Nexus and wasted many hours trying to resolve this, including two failed system restores (looks like Nexus is a dirty little bugger) Windows Explorer will open up multiple windows. Firefox will not. Help.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Opening a link using "open link in new window" does not work. I can only use "open in new tab" option. Is this normal with the Firefox 4?

I really don't have any more info. When I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version I have noticed that I can 't use this Open in new window option any more. I have reinstalled the software using its US English version( first time I have chosen the UK English version) but to no avail.

I just upgraded to 6.0 and links that want to open in a new window do not work. Right click and selecting open in new window does work.

Similarly clicking a link in email does not open a window. I can drag the link to Firefox and a new tab opens.
Also clicking Tools -> Add-ons does not open a tab as it used to.

mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

"Move To New Window" Does Not Work in Version 5. It opens a new window, but it's blank, and the tab I wanted as the new window stays where it is. Is this a bug?

Right mouse-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move To New Window" should open the contents of the tab in a new window, and then close the original tab on the original instance of FF. But in Version 5, that action simply spawns a new window that is totally blank, and the tab I wanted opened in a new window stays attached to the original window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Open URL in new window

Hi folks,
I am working on WAD3.5 where in I have created several links to open either WEBGUI i.e to open various customized TCODES in SAP-Bi or other queries. BAsicaly its a work bench sort of thing from where we can access various tools developed for client. I am using below mentioned HTML code:
<TD class=SAPBEXBtnStd vAlign=top>
 <DIV style="HEIGHT: 20px"><A
 href="/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?~transaction=ZBI_AUTOMATION_TOOL">BI Automation Tool
 </A></DIV></TD>
where ZBI_AUTOMATION_TOOL is a customized TCODE. Issue is whenever i click on the link it opens the WEBGUI in same screen and when i click back the page expires. I want to open the URL in new window.
Please help me by providing the exact syntax. It would help to resolve my issue. I have tried couple of things but they are not working.
Thanks
Rahul Mahajan

There is a parameter on the web template that should be set..
it is
Open dialogs in new window - set this to either automatic or "Open Window X"
or add this to your template properties list:
<param name="ENABLE_OPEN_WINDOW" value="X"/>

Transaction launcher: open URL in new window

Dear all,
I know many threads have already been posted about "stateful URL" created with transaction launcher, that open a new browser window AND navigate to an empty screen with the following text (which is more than useless):
"The requested page has been opened in a new window, please press back button to go back to the last page."
Carsteen gave some useful hints already in the following thread:
Transaction Launcher in a new window
But maybe someone found something new since then... At the moment I'm thinking about "simulating" a clic on the BACK button (like mentioned in this useless message), with something like :
DATA:
history TYPE REF TO if_bsp_wd_history_manager_disp.
history = view_manager->get_history_manager_display( ).
history->go_back( ).
Any better idea ?
Thanks & regards,
Nicolas Busson.

Hi Nicolas !
How are you? :-)
I assume that since then you have found a way to fix your issue, but as the post is not answered I can tell you that SAP has taken into account this point in SAP 702 EHP1, with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
Use
If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
Dependencies
This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

I keep getting an error window about java since I updated to firefox 8, my tabs will flash, tabs will close and open in a new window, everything stops working, firefox is non responsive, please help

Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP

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, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

'New Window' does not work while generating HTMLhelp

Hi team,
I have created a RoboHelp project and assigned the property 'Open in a New Window' for a particular page.
When I generate HTMLhelp format, and I click on the page, it opens in the same frame, but does not open in a new window.
However, this feature works fine when I generate Webhelp.
Is there any workaround?
Any assistance will be appreciated!!!
Santosh.

Hi Thomas,
thanks for the hint, it helped the find the source of the problem.
Our Portal Framework is highliy modified - actually it is more a own developed Framework than a modification to the SAP Standard framework.
Opening the WebDynpro in a new window with the SAP Standard Framework does work perfectly. With the own developed Framework, the system behaviour is like described in my original post.
Thus back to the roots: We have to check our portal framework again :-(.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Stepahn

Open ion a new window doesn't work

Firefox 3.6.3, Windows Vista 64 bit. When I "open in a new window", it does not happen, but apparently another instance of Firefox opens in the background. After closing Firefox, if I open the ask manager, I see another instance running which I have to kill before I can start Firefox again. I have also noticed that my video download helper no longer appears in the navigation bar, nor in the Tools menu, even though it says it does when I look at the add-on options. Not sure if this is related. I have completely removed Firefox and installed Firefox 3.6.3, and the problem remains.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to, I think, 3.5
