Firefox keeps offering to translate websites, this is EXTREMELY unwanted
Firefox keeps offering to translate websites, your new feature.
I neither want it to, nor do I appreciate ads, because it is simply you advertising your new product.
I have looked at the settings and there are 0 languages for which I've set it so it will offer me to translate and 0 for which it will do. Besides the fact I do speak and read multiple languages; it is not a feature I am interested in.
So when I set it so it will not bug me about it and every time I enter a foreign language site the little pop-up shows; that's some serious unwanted ads and also clearly FAR more tracking than FF is even supposed to be doing.
I have used firefox for nearly 15 years, but I'm honestly wondering if I should find another privacy focused browser One that doesn't spam me with little pop-ups over it's latest ill-conceived stupid feature.
So you could help by actually NEVER-EVER under any fucking circumstances show this stupid translation pop-up UNLESS I put I request it to do so in the settings or at the very LEAST allow me to turn it off.

Why trying to find where I can send feedback or complaints sends me to a form that posts it to volunteer forum is beyond me.
