 It could be read as "Allow TorBrowser to send blank canvases in the
 Future" ''or'' "Allow this site to access the canvas in the Future".

 fix this, it's in my `bug12684-explain-canvas-permissions`
 [https://github.com/isislovecruft/torbutton/tree/bug12684-explain-canvas-
 permissions branch].

 I wonder whether we really want to make the text in the popup even longer
 given that a lot of people are presumably stopping to read it while trying
 to parse the first sentence. So, maybe we should be smarter here and
 rephrase the whole dialog in a way that fixes both problems.
