Hi Deamon, don't get me wrong, modals in general are bad and it is a "last resource". However, I agree with the solution of Firefox's UX designer, asking for a confirmation before turning on/off the AI functionalities (as it is a disruptive action that affect overall users XD). We may argue that maybe it needed to be done via a full page... ? Or maybe not using a "switch" in the first place. Anyway, all good. It is nice to see people with this kind of concerns 👍

PS, I don't like this AI move of FF, I actually uninstalled it after years and years because of that.

It would have been a dark pattern if, just as an example, the "block" button was set as secondary action (in white) and the primary blue action was "cancel".

A modal in general is not defined as a dark pattern (not sure why you say that).
And in this case a modal is used to manage a user journey "subtask", which is a request to confirm a potential disruptive action: users may use firerox AI features for long, before deciding to turn them off, deeply changing their experience with the product.
I agree that it could have been done as a full page, but it is fine also as a modal on desktop (not mobile viewport)
