WARNING from the moderator team: Changing Firefox preferences from the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior. You should only do this if you know what you're doing. Please read Firefox advanced customization and configuration options to learn more.

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and the results were a bit strange: The search box in the config editor wouldn't accept input, either typing or pasting. I checked and unchecked "Show only modified preferences" and a complete list was displayed. I scrolled down to "browser.translations.enable" and it was already set to True. I typed "about:translations" in the address bar and got the msg:

   Translation isn’t available on this device. Try switching to a different device. Learn more.

I tried clicking the "learn more" button but nothing happened. (I have recently restarted my machine).

Hi

There is no need to alter about:config for this, I recommend that you reset that preference.

Am I right in thinking that this is a version of Firefox that was pre-installed with Ubuntu?

Hello

The reason?

According to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/translations/resources/01_overview.html#supported-platforms

Translations is available only on devices support SSE4.1

Type about:telemetry#environment-data-tab in the address bar. Take a look at, cpu.extensions

Yes, pre-installed with Ubuntu. Does that make a lot of difference?

I only have SSE3, so I guess that's until I upgrade my PC.

Thanks all for your help, as always, Tim
