Bug Description

See attached screenshots. The first screenshot is a full-screen grab of an eeePC netbook running Firefox when I pressed "Upload a file" in this bug tracker and typed "scr" (the first three letters of a file I have called screenshot). As you can see the relevant part of the dialog is off-screen. However this can be worked around by zooming the dialog window (dragging its titlebar to the top of the screen) as shown in the second screenshot. Perhaps the dialog should be zoomed by default in these circumstances? or ideally the layout code could be adapted so that it copes with reduced screen space?

I'm not sure if this should be reported against Firefox or against a library that it uses to display the dialog. Could somebody please reassign this to the correct package if it's not Firefox? Thanks.
