[Gllug] Pop up window source reading

Recently I had a Dialog prompt pop up that only had an OK button. The
text read along the lines of - Just click OK to continue. There was no
further information available and no reason that I could see for such a
prompt to occur.

I was using Firefox 1.5.0.10, on FC6. I was in the process of confirming
a purchase on-line. I had already researched the site the lock showed up
fine all looked okay. Until this window showed up.

So I figure, it has shown up on my system there must be a way for me to
track down where it came from and where it is going to. I have been
trying to track down something via google but have only come up with
articles on pop-up windows which are already blocked and Javascript
dialogs which might be the right path but is not getting me far.

I am hoping for some direction on where I can look at any files that
might pertain to a window/prompt that has popped up. Preferably being
able to look at things like who/what sent it and what actions the
buttons pertain too. Being able to generate a log for such prompts would
also be a plus.
