- Install the Firefox Translations addon
- Navigate to a web page, trigger a translation from the URL bar icon
The translation does not happen, and I see the following error in the browser console:
DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned. ExtensionChild.sys.mjs:180:26
emit resource://gre/modules/ExtensionChild.sys.mjs:180

I guess bug 1828264 is the culprit.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1828264
:peterv, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1828264, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Looks like the extensions code is deserializing a blob inside of a sandbox, which is problematic.

Backed out for causing hazard bustage on StructuredCloneHolder.cpp
Unsure if other extensions are affected but this has apparently broken the clipboard2file addon.

(I use it frequently so looking forward to the fix 😁 )

Hello! I tried to reproduce the issue with Firefox 116.0a1 (2023-06-19) on Windows 10x64 by installing Firefox Translations addon but the addon button to translate the page does not appear in the URL bar from some reason after visiting a page.
I installed the same addon on FirefoxRC2 116.0 (20230727152340) and it seems that the addon is displayed in the URL bar after visiting a page. I can not see any errors in the browser's console after translating a page and the page is correctly translated.
The addon button does not appear in the URL bar in the latest nightly either. So most probably there is some preference/settings involved. Does anyone know how to make the addon appear in the URL bar on a nightly build to correctly reproduce the issue? Thank you in advance!

Alexandru, you can temporarily set the "browser.translations.enable" pref to False to disable the built-in functionality. The addon icon is only shown when the built-in functionality is disabled.
Without the icon, you can still test other addon functionality, like selecting text and translating it (available from the context menu).

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, Marco! I could successfully reproduce the issue and the icon is displayed in the nightly build as well. Closing this as verified per previous comments.
