Chrome always opens http://localhost:3000/user_sessions/new on launch

-1

Every time I launch Chrome on my Mac, it opens a tab with http://localhost:3000/user_sessions/new. I guess this has something to do with Ruby on Rails and perhaps a test server that a much more server-savvy friend once set up for a project years ago, but I have no idea where this is defined or how to get rid of it. Any ideas where to start looking?

1Did you check the home settings on chrome? – Amirreza Nasiri – 2014-10-02T12:38:59.990

Yes i did, and there it says "Continue where you left off" as usual. (For the record, I don't leave this tab hanging around so that it would be why it's opened every time. I do have the usual 40-60 other tabs to open, though.) – villapossu – 2014-10-02T20:45:49.820

Assuming you aren't locked by your company, go to

Chrome settings - On startup - open specific page or set of pages - set pages.

Nah, I have "Continue where you left off" there, as usual. The urge to open this strange page comes from somewhere else. – villapossu – 2014-10-02T20:44:32.593

Try "Open the New Tab page" and write the result. – Amirreza Nasiri – 2014-10-03T16:32:36.813

I have the usual 40, 50 or 60 tabs that I absolutely want to keep along when I boot my computer or my browser. So, no, I'm not going to want to lose them by choosing just an empty start page. I'm just wondering where this one defunct page always comes from. – villapossu – 2014-10-15T10:35:10.050

@villapossu Try disabling add-ons to see what happens. I'd suggest safe mode as well – Raystafarian – 2014-10-15T11:02:15.150
