I generally truly love using @firefox This new feature of intrusively suggesting to translate shit is beyond me though. Just shove off with that crap and ask me to opt IN (mastodon.social)

That popup is intrusive and I hate firefox for it.

go to about:config

search for browser.translations

You can either disable it completely or just disable the popup.

The popup itself offers the option to

never suggest translating language

Doesn't it?

@miss_brainfart it seems to only do that for that site

Or for that language.

Which feature?

@OsrsNeedsF2P
When you hit a page that's not in your ff language a popup from the browser appears suggesting to translate. Cool feature, but the popup doesn't allow me to just disable it be default
