I really can't reproduce this one. @marco-c The addon has Always translate this tab activated?

[marco-c]

@andrenatal I can reproduce it pretty consistenly (every day on the first login to GitHub). I can't find that option, where is it?

Maybe related: I have GitHub always opening in a separate container, "Work".

[andrenatal]

Could you please share the steps to start this separate container so I could try to reproduce on my end?

[marco-c]

You can:

1. install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ (might be reproducible with different steps even without this addon, Containers are part of Firefox itself, this extension is adding some features on top of them);
2. open a GitHub tab
3. right-click on the GitHub tab on the tab strip, select "Open this tab in a new container", then select the "Work" container
4. in the "Multi-Account Containers" toolbar, select "Always open this site in...", then select the "Work" container

Thanks for sharing the steps @marco-c, but I still can't reproduce it. What version of the extension are you using? Is it the latest one from AMO?

[marco-c]

Firefox Translations: 1.1.2buildid20220523.151256 Multi-Account Containers: 8.0.7
