Did you accidentally press the "Translate this tab automatically as you browse" button? Maybe try in a new tab.

I thought it was something like this at first but no. It suddenly happened around the update to 107 and happens for every site and container. Maybe a bug?

Sounds like a bug, I'd try it in a fresh profile and see it still behaves that way for you. I just installed the extension a few minutes ago and it's translating manually when I click the button.

Ah ok thanks for trying that!! I thought it was just the way it was from now on.
FWIW for me that button is not even appearing anymore.

This is definitely not the right behavior. Could you please file an issue with steps to reproduce or mail the team (address is in the addon page)

Thanks, I will do that! It happens for me on all sites in all containers, that's why I thought it was intentional. Thanks!
Previously there was a manual translate button. Now you can only set up automatic translation with an exception list.
This is really annoying for me, I'm learning Spanish and I like to switch between the original and the translation. Now that option is suddenly gone.
