his is likely a site issue and not a Firefox issue. If the site links to a
secure site requiring a password, FF will show a password box.

It happens on any site that a pop up attempts to come up one.  Happens on
multiple site locations.  Also come up in IE as well.

If it comes up in IE, then it is not a firefox issue.
