Bubble Doesn't Work in Firefox 58

Open Taurean75 opened this issue 7 years ago • 14 comments

Hey...

The bubble does appear, but clicking on it doesn't show the popup / results -- nothing.

Thanks!

It's still broken in v0.5.5. It's working very sporadically. Most of the time, the bubble doesn't even appear; to make it work, I've to use the "define in Google Translate" option once, the bubble then works for a while. Sometimes, it appears but just disappears when clicked while it does save the result in its history.

Whenever I want to use this addon I need to go to its settings, disable/enable translation and then bubble works as long as website was not changed or refreshed.

@andy-portmen, when can we expect a fix? Some communication from you would be nice.

@mattia-b89, it's still sporadic for me.

can you point out some website is it's specific to some website?

mattia-b89 avatar Feb 14 '18 21:02 mattia-b89

@mattia-b89, it's not website-specific.

To make it work, I have to keep "translate.google.com" opened.

I think it doesn't have the permission for "webNavigation".

I have never payed attention to this detail

For me, the bubble is not showing on this issue page.

if you can, try to start with a blank firefox profile (reset it) starting with version 57 firefox experienced huge and deep changes, so there could be a mess under the hood of firefox...

@mattia-b89, other similar extensions work just fine. I gave up on this one.

@andy-portmen...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-translate/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/s3google-translator/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imtranslator/

All of those extensions use a bubble / button without any problems, so it can't be a problem with Firefox or my profile. The only thing is that they don't have the second language option. Oh, well.
