Firefox fixes the version number problem
Deozaan:
I have been searching for things like "chrome tab auto recover crash" and "chrome tab auto reload" but I can't find any other experiences either way that explain what's going on. So all I can tell you is that I suspect it's an extension you might have installed that periodically checks/reloads tabs, if it isn't crashing. Because I haven't seen tabs appearing to refresh itself and I use chrome for about 3 hours every day.

Interesting. I use Chrome for far longer each day, and usually never even close it except, obviously, when rebooting (which doesn't happen often).

I just copied it from the Chrome Extensions page and then manually edited it and bolded the titles. Regex would have been better except for the fact that it would have taken me longer to find out the expression to match the titles than it did to manually bold them all. :D
Anyway, so it looks like we have the following in common:
Facebook Disconnect - Version: 1.0.2
Stop Facebook from tracking the webpages you go to.
SmoothScroll - Version: 1.0.1
Scrolls the websites smoothly when scrolling with the mouse wheel or the keyboard
So if it is an extension that is doing this to us, I guess it should be one of those two, since we're both experiencing the same issue.
