First, thanks for introducing this feature [which is not the same as whole page translation]. It fills the gap created when, years ago, Mozilla disabled a translation plug-in. IMHO it's not ready for prime time, because:

1. When I highlight a word or phrase then r-click and Translate, this feature offers to translate From English, To English. Don't need software to do that. Even if, on same web page, I set source language to Italian, when I try to translate another section, the tool defaults to no-op same language. For many years other translation tools have been fairly good at detecting source language. Do I really have to download languages for ONline translation (as in "Set your language and site translation preferences and manage languages downloaded for offline translation.")? Anyway, without language detection the tool loses much of its value.

2. Even once you make the effort to set source language, the translation is often wrong, sometimes simply repeating the selection.

So, nice idea, yes you say "Beta" but it feels more like "Alpha."

I am trying to implement the below with fire fox containers however I am not sure how you disable the option to clear cookies per container ?

See below.

I also use this extension in order to have quick access to all of my Google Voice numbers. I created a new container for each Google Voice number I own. I then logged in to the appropriate account for each container and disabled the option to clear my cookies upon exit. Today, I can launch Firefox, select the container titled with the number I want to use, and immediately place or accept a call via my desktop. I can close the browser completely when I am done. I also changed the icon and name to reflect this purpose. This has been most beneficial when I have been on a call with a financial institution and they want to call me back at a specific number which they have on file. Opening the browser and being immediately ready is better than connecting to Google Voice; opening my password manager; inserting my credentials; providing 2FA; accessing the account; allowing my microphone; and accepting the call. My device is encrypted and protected with a strong password in the event it is stolen.
