There are already a number of questions related to how to get rid of the stupid pop-up window asking to translate the web pages. I am fluent in 4 languages, I use them all on daily basis and for obvious reasons I cannot keep shifting any system preferences or anything else while switching between languages.

I tried copy the "about:config" which is supposed to prevent the automatic translation from being suggested. It doesn't work - the pop-up still comes. I have even rebooted the computer after. still the pop-up comes for random web pages.

Please for the next release of this otherwise magnificient (non-microsoft) browser fix this irritating feature.

it is not Firefox business to judge whether I understand the language on the pages or not. I want to be able to prevent all attempts at "user friendliness" from the browser.

Please advice when fixed.

Go to about:config and change browser.translations.enable to false.
