Hello, today my Firefox offered me to try the "Translate this page" beta function within the browser. I agreed but now want to disable/delete this option and don't know how. I can uncheck the option to always translate the page in the menu settings after clicking on the icon in the bar. But I don't see an option to delete this add-on (it's not listed in the add-on section either). How can I get rid of it? Best, Manu

It's not an add-on. To disable it, enter about:config in the address bar and set browser.translations.automaticallyPopup = false.

I hit cancel when the Firefox "try translate" box opened, but it translated a key website into Spanish anyway. Then I downloaded the extension and asked it to translate back to English and it claimed to, but did not. Now I can't use the site and it's crucial that I regain the English version. HELP!!!!!
