I do not live in Estonia, I don't know estonian, I don't have estonian set as a language anywhere in firefox or any other settings, I don't have any estonian language packs downloaded, the only time I was involved with it was when I accidentally clicked on 'estonian' instead of 'english' when trying to translate a page (once, I clicked on it accidentally once as far as I remember, one single time and no more. Only one time this happened. Once), and it somehow just can not cease asking me to translate pages to estonian, anything that isn't in english, somehow it tolerates that. Actually how does this happen and how do I fix it

Hi, if you go to Settings => General => Language the you can clik on settings behind translations and remove the unwanted translation language. See Firefox Translations

Yes, but in my case I want translation to be offered sometimes, it's just that it forces estonian on to me.
