In their info Google say the CSE (Client Side Encryption) isn't up to date and won't work. My About Firefox link tells me I am up to date.

Does anyone know what is going on here and how it can be fixed please?

Is there a setting to always show the translation icon in the Firefox desktop address bar?

1. Scenario

I'm visiting a website that is not in my native language. For example, I natively speak English, and the website contains Spanish text.

The Spanish website incorrectly sets lang="en" in the HTML. Here's an example: https://animalessinhogar.com.uy/

My browser's default language is set to US English. When Firefox sees the Spanish webpage declaring the lang="en" tag, it assumes the webpage is in English, and hides the translation icon from the address bar.

1. Issue

The end result is I see this website in Spanish, there's no translation icon in the address bar, and also no way to force a full page translation. The best I can do is select parts of the text, right click, and ask for "Translation Selection to English". This gets very tedious, especially when I have automatic translations for Spanish websites already turned on (browser.translations.alwaysTranslateLanguages = es).

1. Proposed solution

To work around these websites which mis-declare their language, is there a way to always show the translation icon in the address bar?

I had also thought of removing my browser's default language, so that the translation icon would always appear on every webpage. However, that would mean that websites that present different versions based on browser language wouldn't display my native language at first, or might not work at all? So this seems like a less good solution.

1. Firefox details

140.4.0esr (64-bit) running on Debian Linux 13 (Trixie)

Here's some related Firefox config options for translations, and their settings on my browser. I think I've only changed the configuration option to always translate Spanish webpages.

browser.translation.neverForLanguages browser.translations.alwaysTranslateLanguages es browser.translations.automaticallyPopup true browser.translations.chaos.errors false browser.translations.chaos.timeoutMS 0 browser.translations.enable true browser.translations.logLevel Error browser.translations.mostRecentTargetLanguages en browser.translations.neverTranslateLanguages browser.translations.newSettingsUI.enable false browser.translations.panelShown true browser.translations.select.enable true browser.translations.simulateUnsupportedEngine false browser.translations.useHTML false browser.translations.useLexicalShortlist false gfx.canvas.remote.use-canvas-translator-event true services.settings.main.translations-models.last_check 1773722950 services.settings.main.translations-wasm.last_check 1773722950 toolkit.telemetry.translations.logLevel Error

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

Where can I download a fresh Firefox 115.33.0esr (64-bit) browser for Win-7 because the one I have installed is so corrupted and I can't seem to be able to fix it.

I get the message: We're Sorry Firfox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows. To help us diagnose and fix this problem, you can send us a crash report. I sent the crash report multiple times.

I added a screenshot of my MacBook Air info.

When I play YouTube videos in Firefox, they are constantly choppy and slow, even though my internet connection is fine and other browsers (like Chrome) work smoothly. This happens with both HD and lower quality videos. I've already tried clearing cache and disabling extensions, but the issue persists. Please help me fix this.

My name is Dr Tahmeena HazratyOmid. I use Firefox on my Android phone. Recently the browser became slow and YouTube videos do not play smoothly. I tried restarting the phone but the problem is still there. Please help me solve this problem.

I am encountering more and more websites with problems they attribute to Firefox. Many of them recommend using Chrome or Edge and some insist upon it or they will no longer support problems. Direct TV will no longer work with Firefox at all and they will not fix it. Several of my other regular websites will work partially, but have pages that simply will not work with Firefox. I have resisted using Chrome or Edge for years but it is getting harder and harder to do as on line systems continue to have problems with Firefox and their only suggestion is to use Chrome (which works when Firefox doesn't). Any ideas/suggestions?

When I play a video in fullscreen and type something, when I typed something in the IME and will press Esc to quit the IME, the whole fullscreen will be quitted. The expected behavior is to quit the IME only, and the fullscreen should be quitted only when there is no IMEs.

The issue has been existing for years.
