I speculate (a bit, though I am a seasoned software quality assurance
analyst), but I lean heavily towards Skyler's specific environment of a
OnePlus mobile device running OxygenOS 10 and regardless of whether he uses
Firefox or Chrome. What I find curious is that I asked Skyler whether to
edit wiki, he chose "Edit" or "Edit Source" and he said "Neither, I clicked
the Pencil icon." That strongly seems like something either his OS or
browser is "doing" (javascript somewhere?) and appears to get us closer to
finding the code-path where the "Confirmation code" dialog is thrown.
As a software engineer, my intuition would incline me to doubt this has
anything to do with my OS. OSs don't tend to directly manipulate your web
traffic in such a way that could lead to breaking functionality in web apps
(analytics, of course, are a different matter). As for "edit" vs "edit
source", you can see for yourself that neither of those are an option on
the mobile site.

The pencil icon brings me to a text box with wikitext, so my guess is that
it is "edit source", although such words do not appear anywhere that I noticed.
Skyler, one more piece of the puzzle: your screen shot chops off the end
of the web page you are browsing: it says
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New... and then fades out. May we have
the page you were trying to edit and the name of the browser you were
running with this screen shot?
If you are asking for the full URL, it is:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=New_York/NYS_GIS_Clearinghouse#/editor/0
These screenshots are from the latest version of Firefox for Android,
although the same thing happens in Chrome and Brave as well.
