Where are these 'Grant' dialogs?
They were part of the browser when the Java engine was part of the browser, as in Netscape 4.x. They were used when a java applet requested extra privilege. Netscape had defined some certificate extensions that were used by one or more CAs to facilitate the display of CA logos. NSS contained some code to help the browser find the relevant logo URLs. That code is now "dead code", meaning that it is there in NSS, but nothing ever calls it (or indeed can call it, since it's not exposed outside of the shared library).
Actually Javascript can cause these dialogs. If you fetch Java script from an SSL site, it is treated as 'signed'. If the java script then requests some privellege, the user will get a Grant Dialog.
