My original question then-still learning

My original query was about why the installation showed up as a pop up at all rather than simply as a new window (which is typical of the many things I have installed thru Firefox).Since this has never occurred before I thought I would ask.What defines a pop up as different from any other new window? I've never had to give special dispensation to a site from which I have dnldd software before so I'm wondering why this showed up as different from a usual software dnld.Was it simply that this time it was a pop up rather than a "regular" new window ? A pop up, to me, is something extra that you didn't opt for whereas, in this case, I had invited it.Why's it a pop up ?
I hope this clarifies the nature of my curiosity-atleast somewhat.Subsequent to further googling I have dnldd the toolbar as their use of my personal info does not appear to be invasive, threatening or dangerous.....Now I just have to figure out all that it's telling me. DH- Thanks for the clarifications.
