The addon has been updated many times and still the dev couldn't find time to make a freaking simple improvement like introducing a time limit for the button which appears when you select text.
A button that right now stays there FOREVER until you click somewhere else in the page, which is NOT always the case (for example, if you copy something to attach it in another page. Simple case: I copied the title of a movie I was streaming, so to write it to someone in an email. When I went back to the streaming, the freaking button was there in the mid of the freaking video. This is RIDICULOUS and one of the most blatant examples of atrocious UX Design.
It's so annoying that it escapes my comprehension how people give this thing 5 stars.

Please ensure that you went to it's settings and into the last tab "Information" and have no info text asking you to grant it additional permission.
These permissions are needed in order for the extension to work.
It also says so in the V3 changelog:
Added button to enable translation on web pages on the infomation page
>This button is displayed when the extension is not available on a web page due to lack of permissions
Please go to Extensions > 3 Dots for this Extension -> Settings -> Information (In the new Tab) -> Look for a text along the lines of: -> This extension requires more permissions in order to translate on Webpages (Should be below the License and above the Donation) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18422618, pirms 5 dienām

- Rated 4 out of 5by dikunav, pirms 15 dienāmThe best of firefox "Recommended" translation extensions, has good functional, has in-page selection translations and full-page translations, but not full-page in-page translations. Translate Web Pages extension has that function and all this extension's functions. I don't why this extension IS "Recommended" and TWP isn't
Also:
TWP has multiple translation languages and more translation enginesm right at in-page translation popup. TWP has much more settings. TWP can work with NoScript extension and the current extension can't
So I will remove this extension and use TWP instead, because only advantage of this extension is that it allows you to use more recent languages than TWP (TWP allows maximum 3, which is not enough for me)
P.S. Found a minus: actually can't use DeepL in-page translate because it needs DeepL API which needs not just login, but also your post adress and credit card, which don't work at all in several countries including Russia, it was better if it used copying DeepL Translate data from (background) page or (zero transparency) html iframe - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13448137, pirms 16 dienāmEs bastante inútil, hay traductores pequeños y muy eficientes, mucho mejores y mas simples de usar

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18376100, pirms mēnešaUtilisez directement le site Google Traduction pour traduire une page entière, c'est ce que fait cette extension, tout comme DeepL. À la différence que cette extension a accès à tout vos données de navigation. Inutile et très permissif
