I know this is not the right component but I was unsure where to file this bug.

Can you attach a Mac screenshot as well?  Is the problem that on Mac, the dialog is way too wide and the buttons are not visible?

Sure, I need to take another screen snap as the other one was too large to attach - the dialog is ultra wide and the buttons are way off the screen to the right.

Just tested this on a Mac: The dialog box provides a max height for the input text and makes it scroll-able, while the action buttons are visible on the bottom right.

Closing this as fixed (rather than works for me), because based on the screenshots, it was an issue in the past but a change between now and 14 years ago must've fixed it. Based on the comments from Bug 115997, it could've been a change to the alert system in FF 4.
