Deny the prevention or allow the prevention or what? Pop-up window prevention could be clearer.

When blocking potential malware, such as the example below may be representing, I like to have it crystal clear what pressing a certain button will do. The wording in this pop-up is a little confusing to me.

I'm pretty sure I know what's going on, but an apples-to-apples semantical phraseology wouldn't be too hard to implement here, I imagine.

This is on Android, right?

I agree that it's confusing to ask whether you want to Prevent and then have the actions labeled as DENY and ALLOW.

There was an issue about this on the Github for Firefox for Android (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/6973) but ultimately it moved to Mozilla's bug tracking system, Bugzilla. I added a reference to this discussion thread over there:

Yes I meant to include that this is from Android 14 (Samsung Galaxy).
