[Affected versions]:
60.0a1 (BuildId:20180215103933)
59.0b9 (BuildId:20180209162511)
58.0.2 (BuildId:20180206200532)
52.6.0 esr (BuildId:20180118122319)

[Affected platforms]:
Windows 10 64bit.
macOS 10.13.
Ubuntu 16.04 64bit.

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox with a clean profile.
2. Access the about:preferences#containers page.
3. Click the "Preferences" button from one of the available container.
4. Fill the "Name" field with a long text.
5. Click the "Done" button.
6  Click the "Preferences" button of the modified container.
7. Try to change the previously entered name.

[Expected result]:
The user can successfully change the container name.

[Actual result]:
The Container window is displayed overly stretched and the user is not able to change the container name because:
- The "Done" button is no longer displayed (even if resizing the window).
- The "Enter" keyboard button doesn't save any changes.

The user is eventually forced to delete that particular container.


[Regression range]:
I don't think that this is a regression.

Seems fair. We should be eliding that text. Or at least overflow-ing in the name area to ensure the buttons are always on screen.
