The javascript alert() dialogs in fennec on Maemo 5 do not appear to support \n linebreaks.  This can be seen when tapping on the letter A on acid3.acidtests.org to view the test details.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to acid3.acidtests.org and allow test to run for a while
2.  Tap on letter A to bring up more detailed results in alert() dialog
Actual Results:  
There are no line breaks in the text where there should be, other browsers including desktop Firefox do display the breaks correctly.

Expected Results:  
The line breaks should be respected.

Respecting the line breaks will cause more scrolling in the alert dialog, but it will be more readable.  It would be better if the dialog would use a bit more of the available vertical screen space.
