Empty info/notification popup showing

[Booligoosh]

I have Firefox Translations enabled by setting extensions.translations.disabled on Firefox Nightly 97.0a1 (2021-12-17) (64-bit) running on Pop!_OS.

Clicking the translate icon in the URL bar will bring up an empty info bar like so:

Inspecting the browser console, I see the following errors when clicking the translate button:

notif.init is not a function TranslationBrowserChromeUi.js:313

I tried having a look around the code but don't know enough about the workings of internal browser extensions to figure out the issue!

Hi @Booligoosh , we are planning to replace the in-tree version in a couple of weeks that's going to fix this issue you are seeing. Thanks for reporting! I'll leave this issue open until we land the update.

Awesome, thanks for all the great work!

Sorry but was decided to not pursue browser integration at this moment anymore. So @Booligoosh could you please file this at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home so that someone could offload that from gecko-dev?

Thank you!
