Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

Pre firefox 0.8. It used to be the case if you would popup an alert dialog box
in javascript like alert('hello i'm a alert dialog box') that the OK and Cancel
buttons would be centered now they are aligned to the right.

This is very inconvenient and in my opinion also more ugly. For example if you
install an extension usually multiple alert dialogs popup after another, which
you all have to "OK". When the OK button was in the middle this was very easy.
Now you have to move your mouse every time.

Other examples are the dialog that appears when you close firefox and there are
still downloads or when you want to save a password.

I just notice that this is linux specific. For example when I make a dialog with
an Accept Cancel and Help button. Under Linux it looks liket this in ASCII art
----------                         ---------- ----------
|  Help  |                         | Cancel | | OK     |
----------                         ---------- ----------

And under windows
                       ----------  ---------- ----------
                       |  OK  |    | Cancel | | Help  |
                       ----------  ---------- ----------

This is not a bug. This is implemented as designed.
