Mrithula,
its not a salesforce or visualforce message.. its a standard browser warning message for all pages with forms that uses POST to submit data to server.. if the user is trying to refresh or hit back/forward that causes the form to be resubmitted, the browser gives this warning & asks for confirmation to resubmit the data..

here is a more detailed explanation

and there might be some settings (different for Chrome/Firefox/IE).. but not sure if it will fix the issue..

another solution is to open the link in a new tab like below.. so you can access the first page without back button..
<apex:outputLink value="{!URLFOR('pagexyz')}" target="_blank">
