This is because you're using an older version of Firefox.
I recently added in Firefox manifest was specifying that no data is collected by including (required by Mozilla since recently) :

"data_collection_permissions": {
  "required": ["none"]
}

Since you're using an old Firefox version, this field may not be recognized. (You need at least v128+)
I suggest you update your Firefox if you want latest extension updates, or stay with the v2.13.

Or, you can Build a custom Firefox version yourself by running :

git clone https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube_No_Translation.git
cd YouTube_No_Translation
npm i
npm run package:firefox-old

and install it manually.

I'm on Windows 7, and the Firefox version 115.28 ESR is the latest officially supported.
The manifest.json of the extension reports:
"strict_min_version": "112.0",

So i think maybe there is something wrong with the compatibily of the addon

The problem isn’t with "strict_min_version": "112.0", but with the "data_collection_permissions" field I recently added to the manifest.

Firefox versions before 128 don’t recognize this new field and will report the extension as “corrupt.”
I wasn’t aware of this incompatibility at first, which is why the manifest still lists 112 as the minimum version.

In reality, you need Firefox 128+ for the extension to install—so for future releases, I’ll update "strict_min_version" accordingly.

For now, if you’re on ESR 115, you’ll have to stick with extension v2.13 or build the extension manually using the instructions in my previous message.
