The ECMAScript standard says nothing about "alert" function, but it says that
each implementation can add whatever functions they want. So, it would be great
if you could change the title of the "alerts" (the popup of the "alert"
function) with another function or another parameter in the same function.

It should be portable to another systems, because they should ignore the
function or the parameters.

Maybe you can think this wish is stupid, but some clients like to see "Microsoft
Internet Explorer" (in spite of it is spam) better than "[Javascript Console]".
I don't understand it, but the client is who orders, and I think this can be a
good enhacement.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Execute "alert" function.

Actual Results:  
you can see the title of the alert: "[JavaScript console]"

Expected Results:  
whatever you want. I think it must be changeable from the web page.

This is by design, to ensure that web pages can't spoof app dialogs.  I don't
especially feel like finding the original, but this will never change.  For
application/extension alerts, we have a prompt service.
