Suspicious behaviour in Chrome with tab opening and closing every few seconds - google-chrome

As mentioned in the title, a new tab opens for a second with the address
http://127.0.0.1:43019/token?access_token=[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600
then it closes quickly.
I managed to access the address by visiting the History.
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks!

Is there any short cut key in Chrome Browser to Clear Cache ...? It is difficult to every time go to settings and clear the content

When I develop Wordpress Sites, sometimes cache memory does not get cleared even I hard refresh the page.
Try this:
1) With Chrome open, enter 'ctrl' + 'shift' + 'I' to bring up the developer console.
2) Click on the 'network' tab and then click on the 'Disable cache' checkbox.
Then you should get a fresh copy of the page from the server each time you reload it.
with chrome open - click 'ctrl+shift+delete' to get clear browsing data console.
check only 'cached images and files' then click 'clear browsing data'.
the selection in the console will be remembered so no need to worry about selecting checkboxes again.

chrome://newtab loads delta search

I have wasted nearly 4 hours in fixing this.
After Babylon this time it is delta-search which makes my chrome sucks on every new tab. chrome://newtab loads: http://www2.delta-search.com/?babsrc=NT_ss_SU&mntrId=786E00E04C01EE9A&affID=121564&tsp=4987
I am not able to fix this. I have already fixed homepage, search setting and other browsers. Please help me to fix this new tab issue. I want "Most visited tab" to be there when I press new tab button.
A real solution is to reset some fields in "chrome://flags". This was the way I did last time in AVG or Babylon. I have solved my problem but I wish if someone could really give exact steps so that next time if a user gets stuck he can find it here.
:p
open google chrome, type chrome://flags/ on address bar and go to hidden configuration setting.
change following part of configuration file to disable by cliking on enable..
Enable Tab Browser Dragging Windows
Enable creating a browser window when dragging tabs. #enable-tab-browser-dragging

Back button not triggering the method within the "beforeunload" in Chrome

Im using the jquery event beforeunload $(window).bind('beforeunload') to make an api call after a user closes the browser, or a tab, or hits the back button. It works fine in Firefox, but not completely in Chrome. In Chrome, it works when the user closes the browser or tab, but not when the user hits the back button. The method is supposed to remove the user from a list of "current active users" whenever they close the browser or tab or leave the page. For some reason in Chrome, the history api isn't removing the user whenever they leave the page via the back button. What could be causing this? Thanks.
I am not sure why this happens but, personally, I wouldn't rely on this. What if the users' computer crashes? A browser will not fire that event - it won't have the chance to. Best bet would be to call a page via ajax or something similar, every 5 seconds or so, and that page updates a date related to the user. You then show users where the date is within the last minute, or whatever you decide, in the list of currently active users. If their computer crashes, the date will no longer be updated.

When refreshing a submitted content on Google Chrome, confirmation prompt doesn't get focused

Here is the scenario: whenever I submit a form on Google Chrome, then try to refresh the page, I get prompted by the browser to confirm the re-submition, due to data loss et cetera, as usual. The annoying part is that the confirmation prompt doesn't get the focus (it used to do it).
This is a common task I believe many programmers do:
CTRL+S on code editor;
ALT+TAB to Google Chrome and
CTRL+R (or F5) to refresh the page.
RETURN or SPACE to confirm the re-submition.
The problem is at the 4th step: once the confirmation prompt doesn't get the focus, I have to mouse click the "OK" button.
It's not a big deal, but it really becomes a pain when you have to test multiple times a form submition.
My Chrome version is: 27.0.1453.94 m
Thanks in advance.
I noticed the same behavior in Chrome 27.0.1453.94 m, it's very annoying when developing webpages. The problem persists in version 27.0.1453.110 m.
I've tried 29.0.1529.3 canary, it's refresh behavior is back to normal in that version.
Today i noticed that this behaviour is fixed :-)
Current version: 28.0.1500.71 m

Opening a link in a new page highjacks the referrer page

A client wishes to have a link that opens a new window and shows the website of an investment company.
Pretty straight forward so far.
So I create this link
Click Me
The client then tells me that the page is acting all weird. So I test it and he's right, it's acting very strange.
Here's what my tests shows.
Firefox mac: Page opens, then closes itself and returns to the window with the client's website where it then changes the URL to the one that is suppose to open.
Safari mac and Chrome mac: Page opens, then closes itself and returns to the window with the client's website
Client's IE: opening and closing multiple windows (his words, didn't test it myself);
Instead of redirecting to the page itself, I changed the link to go to the homepage. User will now have to click on "Login" to access the page we wanted originally. Guess what? It does the same thing.
Here's a simplified fiddle. You'll see it's pretty straight forward.
Now I know that the problem isn't from my side but on the investment site. They seem to dynamically add some parameters to the URL for security reasons I suppose.
My question is: how can I avoid all this non sense and simply open the page without it closing? Can someone explain to my why it's doing so?
I tried the login link myself (in Chrome) and it does the same thing.. closes itself.. You should contact their web-designers and report the problem. I succeeded to click on Stop loading button and look through page. Everything is "ok" except that thing it closes. Contact them and wait for response/fix.
