Thanks, really great find! I think this might be fixed by bug 1884445 or bug 1885151 which fixed the issue where it missed the offer to translate. (Most likely fixed by bug 1884445.) I tested a few times from Gmail and it seems resolved, but not 100% since this bug is listed as intermittent.

I could still reproduce this issue on the latest Nightly 127.0a1 from 04/17 with Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (Android 14), with a clean profile.
The issue would occur if there were no translatable pages opened in Nightly before opening the first translatable page from custom tab.

LE: this is also reproducible with other Samsung devices, but not reproducible with other devices (Google Pixel 8 Pro (Android 14), Poco F5 Pro (Android 13)):

• Samsung Galaxy A14 (Android 13)
• Samsung Galaxy A53 5G (Android 14)

Since nightly and release are affected, beta will likely be affected too.

I was able to reproduce this issue on Firefox 126 beta 2 after opening http://ebay.it/ in browser from an initial custom tab state, using a Google Pixel 8 with Android 14. The Translate icon appears only after a page refresh. Attaching a video.
