And suddenly.. there was Google translate asking me to translate a certain website. For the life f me (and I googled myself silly) I CANNOT get it to stop. even when I tell it I do not need it.

I've tried every trick I could find, yet to no avail.

I've NOT installed any add ons that would enable this. And it only happens with one website (hannants.co.uk) and no other (as far as I can see now). This is really ticking me off.

Like I said I googled to no avail and no extension within Firefox that I can see that are enabling. Can any one please help me is turning this piece of crap translation off?

Thanks

Harald

Some websites offer a Google Translate toolbar as part of their page code and this page includes code to embed a Google translate page.

I only see the translate button and not the actual toolbar, but the page might save a possible choice in a cookie.

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"

"Clear the Cache":
