I don't have the issue on my side. The simpliest way for you is to uninstall and reinstall the extension, it will work again. But I need to know why it happened so before, please do this :
In firefox go to : "about:debugging" in the url bar
Then go to "This Firefox" on the left.
Search for the "YouTube No Translation" in Extensions, and click Inspect.
In the console type :

browser.storage.local.get(['settings']).then(function(result) {
    if (result.settings) {
        console.log('Extension Settings:');
        console.log(JSON.stringify(result.settings, null, 2));
    } else {
        console.log('No settings found');
    }
});

and send me the result. It will help me understand what's wrong with your settings.
Thank you.

Thanks for this, I see some missing settings. I just released v2.6.0, it should prevent your issue. If you did not uninstall/reinstalled yet, try to force update and tell me if it fixed it.

Sorry, this issue is 100% my bad.

Strange, I tried to go on the video you were watching on your video (btw just realised you recorded your issue sorry), changing my YT to Polish and chapters are replaced by the originals on my side.
Just in case : for chapters, you need to have the 'description' feature enabled since the add-on get chapters name in videos descriptions.

Do the other features are back (titles, audio tracks..) ?

Anyway, at least the settings issue should be fixed. Don't hesitate to open a new issue if you still encounter problems with chapters tomorrow (meaning after a fresh restart of your browser and youtube tabs).

Titles worked before and work now. Audio track was always set to original and is now. Chapters - turned on the Description option, deleted youtube cookies, ran a new browser's instance, result the same.

Is it just the chapters, or also the description that is still translated?

Descriptions are in the original language as should. But i discovered these weird things: chapters are being displayed translated until video playback ends, as shown in this video https://youtu.be/OzSwC_gKYdU

Anyway, thanks for this extension, u make a piece of great job. I'll look forward for the chapters update (and sorry for my english lol)

Accidentally found a culprit, it's a SponsorBlock. With that addon disabled, everything works right.
