Automatic translation pop up window

Every time I open a new site or webpage, the automatic translation window pops up. I don't need translations and I have to choose "don't translate this page" again and again. I've searched everywhere on Firefox and I can't find a way to stop this. It is extremely intrusive and annoying. I don't understand why Firefox should decide for me what I want and what I don't want. Has anybody solved this problem.

I am not computer savvy enough to use the Configuration Editor and I don't think that there are many "regular" users who are. I just want to stop the automatic popup that offers translations. It can't be so difficult for Firefox to modify this feature in order to allow users to turn it off. This is an extremely non-userfriendly situation.
