I assume that yo are using somethig like opener.location.reload(). Instead of this try to redirect the opener page to the same address:

Popup page:

<script>
    window.onunload=function(){
        opener.location.href = '/{!$CurrentPage.parameters.openerId}';
    };
</script>

Of course you need to notice the opener page ID in the popup URL. For that just insert that ID to the Custom Button code that opens a popup, somethid like this:

Custom button code:

newPopup = window.open("/apex/PopupPage?openerId={!Object__c.Id}", "myPopup", 
                       "width=300,height=200");
newPopup.focus();
