Is there a way to prevent the Translate page from coming up every time I open a non-English-language page ? I was brought up in Britain, but I now live in France. It seems that Firefox is unable to imagine a bilingual user? Best regards, Tony.

P.S. I see that your "Email me when someone answers the thread" link does not respond to my click – I'd like to accept, but I can't!

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

  • about:config => browser.translations.automaticallyPopup = false

You can control this translation feature via:

  • 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.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
