Please help

i don't know why but my firefox on linux also shows sometimes this message but also it fixes itself after a restart or re enabling the add on. it's a bug i am sure.

@meetSuraj can you help?

twisthead commented 3 years ago

image here i connected to the said website and find a definition it returned the definition up and running. as i was saying sometimes it doesn't find any definition, restarting browser or reinstalling would help maybe.

I have the same issue as the op, but on every site. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Seems like a recurring issue. Selecting extra whitespaces.

I can confirm this also happens to me. Fedora 33, Firefox 92.

As you can see in the picture no extra spaces are selected.

Thanks!

Has anyone found a fix for this issue so far? I looked over the code, but I don't see anything obvious causing the issue.

Edit: For anyone else who has the issue; this is caused by VPNs, AdBlockers and other softwares that Google detects and most likely refuses to acknowledge.

What I experienced is: occasionally it happens, but always fixes itself when I look up the definition of the same word again.
