Hi.

How come there is no option to turn off "Firefox Translation"? I speak three languages and every time I visit foreign web site, Firefox suggest translation to me. It's annoying.

Chosen solution

You can set this pref to false in about:config to prevent opening the translation pop-up panel.

You can enable/disable this translation feature via:

  • about:config => browser.translations.enable => true|false

Note that you do not get the translation icon for pages that are in the preferred language for displaying pages list, in this case use the "3-bar" Firefox menu button.

Thanks for fast answer. "Prevent opening the translation pop-up panel" need to be in standard settings where can be easy accessible.

Oh, yes, 100% this option needs to be in Firefox Settings!
