Happens for me on chrome aswell. I didn't install any add-on.
Let's say for example I'm on reddit, after a while it automatically refreshes and I see the new threads showing up on the front page whereas I didn't even hit the F5 key.
It only works if I'm not on the actual tab after a while.

I basically never run into this, even when I have tabs that I've had open for several hours or days.
What I think could be going on here is that Firefox/Chrome is de-loading tabs (and reloading them later when you come back to them) in order to keep memory usage lower in cases where you've got a whole bunch of tabs open. I know Searz does this, do you as well, Yaya?

Might be an addon. Not sure.
It's probably Tab Mix Plus if it's an addon.

Actually, that's not it. I am and was down to 5 tabs when this happened. (I know right, bravo me *clap* *clap*)
And Chrome doesn't even have such a feature.
Also, I think it checks if the page has changed any since the last time you were there, because some pages don't reload at all (or just so fast I don't notice, not sure).

Okay, I've been trying to spot and re-create it lately.
I didn't succeed for like hours at first, but today after having left a tab alone for over an hour I finally noticed it again.
My initial guess of 5-10min was WAAAY off :3
My guess now is that it reloads it if you're away for an hour.

This has happened several times now, but not if I click on the page within 10 minutes(or so) of having been on it before.
It seems like a really cool feature. Does it happen for anybody else? Or is my computer just haunted?
(or is it some addon?)
