  • The window name should have no blank spaces in it. [MDN window.open](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open) – epascarello Feb 16 '18 at 13:07

Unlike Firefox, the way Chrome handle windows and tabs are different(harder), sometimes you are not pointing to the right child(tab - Chrome tab) of a parent(window - Chrome), or not even to the right navigator... (yes chrome can be difficult like that...). Could you show us more code so we can further assist? like how you get/start Chrome window, also, take a look at WinSpy++ and Spy++(Visual Studio), that might help you understand how chrome works.
