The next time it happens, sure. I quit my browser and opened it again, hoping to be able to do that, but it failed to appear (of course). It was a stand-alone, btw, it was the only thing on the screen, the browser wasn't open yet.

It received an update in the last couple of days and it probably opens a changelog when your browser gets around to updating it.

An emergency update to the Malicious Website Blocklist has been made to counter this threat. An emergency update is currently in the works to fix the emergency update as it is in the wrong place (I want to link to this toot in the update, so waiting to commit until I post).

As someone pointed out in the comments, this is not limited to archive[.]ph. Other archive.today domains have the malicious code.
I don't want to update the initial post as that will send a ping to every single person who liked or boosted it.
