oh firefox has built-in translation now, and "helpful" popups that u cant turn off universally 🙃

(u instead have to disable it per language or per website, which the popup doesnt give u an obvious button to do)

@mxdragon set browser.translations.automaticallyPopup to false

@noiob thank u thats good to know, though this was more a ramble abt bad UI

@noiob yeah but theres no "dont offer translations, ever" option, just "dont offer for this language" and "dont offer for this website"

i dont speak that many languages, but its still bad UI to make me reject multiple times in a menu i didnt notice the first few times, when they could have just added a "never translate anything" button right next to the cancel button
